A celebration is being organised to honour Wisbech Armed Forces veterans, serving members, and future personnel.
Armed Forces Day will take place on June 22, 2025, as a salute to service veterans, current serving members of the armed forces, and local cadet forces.
The event kickstarts a week of national festivity, providing the public with an opportunity to pay their respects in Wisbech Park.
The armed forces presence will be marked by a variety of armoured military vehicles, and an array of 1940’s memorabilia for a dash of nostalgia.
Wisbech Cadet Forces from various branches will also partake in the celebrations.
