Armed Forces Day boosted by flypast
Tue 17th March 2015The event planned for Sunday 5 July 2015 has been further boosted by the RAF allocating a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster fly past (subject to weather conditions)
It would be easy this year to get caught up in other events that are taking place and forget that in 2015 there are some very important moments, events in our history that I believe we should commemorate together as a community. I therefore hope at this year Beverley Armed Forces Day we will be able to acknowledge such memorable moments in our countries military history as;
The Battle of Agincourt (600) – 15 October 1415
The Battle of Waterloo (200) – 18 June 1815
The Gallipoli Campaign (100) - 25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916
The Dunkirk Evacuation (75) – 27 May to 4 June 1940
VE Day (70) – 8 May 1945
These events changed the course of our history and indeed many had worldwide implications for the future of civilisation as we now know it.
