CROWDS came to Redcar once again on Saturday as the public took their chance to show support for our Armed Forces - and have fun at the same time.

Members of the public came to the High Street for Armed Forces Day to attend a military parade and service of thanks.

And there was also plenty of fun to be had at an array of activities on Redcar High Street with paintball, a climbing wall, motor cycle riders, a vintage singer and even a flyover by a classic Dakota RAF plane.

The event followed a Freedom of the Borough parade by The Yorkshire Regiment on Thursday which also attracted crowds of people.

Councillor Carl Quartermain, Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Communications and a member of the Armed Forces Day Planning Committee, said: “It was fantastic to see so many people in the town showing their pride and support for our armed services and having a great day at the same time.”
