Whitby Prepares for Annual Armed Forces Day Event

Whitby is set to host its annual Armed Forces Day event on Saturday June 28th, at Dock End

The event aims to raise vital funds for the nominated armed forces charity, RAFA (Royal Air Forces Association). Organisers, Whitby Town Council, encourage the public to "please come down and show your support".

The Royal Air Forces Association, RAFA, is the designated charity for the event and is known for providing support to RAF veterans and their families in and around the Whitby area.

The day's itinerary, sponsored by Whitby Seafood’s, promises a full schedule of activities and displays.

The event is planned to commence at 10:00 with the Reveille and Mayor's Parade, followed by a Drum Display at 11:00.

In the afternoon, a Children’s Military Drill is scheduled for 13:00, with music from the Esk Valley Big Band entertaining attendees from 14:45 to 15:45.

The day will conclude with a Sunset ceremony at 16:00, followed by a two-minute silence.

Beyond the main schedule, the event will feature various games and entertainment, including a tombola, Pickaflag, trampolines, a cake stall, Pirate Stocks, Splat the Rat, and Tin Can Alley.

Several associations will also be present, such as RAFA, The Para association, and The RBL (Royal British Legion).

Stalls from local entities like Whitby Distillery and Whitby Market are also anticipated to be part of the day's offerings.
