Thousands enjoyed air shows, parades, stalls and all kinds of armed forces entertainment in Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington on Saturday.

Crowds enjoyed the sunshine up and down the Yorkshire Coast with armed forces, military charities, local cadet forces and much more involved on Armed Forces Day.
