An Armed Forces day took place in Wisbech which included a range of stalls by local ex-services associations and interested parties featuring displays and attractions.
There was live music, a parade and march-past by local cadet forces.
There was also a thanks-giving service and sunset ceremony to end the day.
The event is a chance for people to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community from currently serving troops to service families, veterans and cadets.
