Celebrations, held at Pontefract Park, included a special Battle of Britian Memorial Flypast, with Squadron Leader Al Luckins flying Spitfire MkVb AB910 over the event site. This plane was flown during D-Day in the Second World War.

Local Armed Forces groups, emergency services personnel, veterans’ groups and community groups held stalls and demonstrations at the event, alongside a plentiful host of food and drink stalls and a craft market.
There was also entertainment from local dance groups, children’s rides and activities for the whole family.
