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".

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).
