Weymouth and Portland Armed Forces & Veterans Celebrations
Festival
Veterans have made and continue to make a major contribution to our Nation and the Weymouth & Portland Armed Forces Day Celebrations will provide a focus on the tireless work carried out by Veteran Associations, individuals and today’s Military Forces. With a host of displays and information available during the week, veterans will be able to discover and receive support available from the various agencies and charity organisations; whilst visitors to the event will be able to appreciate the important role played.
With many uniquely nostalgic, social and commemorative experiences together with attractions, Weymouth and Portland is the ideal location for one of Britain's largest Veteran’s Festival.
Saturday's events commence at 10am with the arrival of historic military vehicles, veteran's rendezvous inside and outside of the Pavilion. There will also be a Beach assault and bridge building excercise on Weymouth beach.
The Service of Remembrance and Parade will take place on Sunday 23rd June 2013 at 11am on Weymouth Seafront.
