The second day of the festival got off to a thrilling start with a full military parade taking to the streets as onlookers waved flags in awe of the pageantry on Saturday, September 20.
Following the parade, the skies above roared with a four-warbird five minute display of two Spitfires, a Hurricane and a Buchon — in a moving tribute to the 80th anniversaries of VE & VJ Days.
