The schedule for this month's spectacular Armed Forces weekend in Cleethorpes has been revealed from the Community Carnival to the incredible Red Arrows. North East Lincolnshire's Armed Forces Day celebrations will be held between Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 30, featuring a packed line-up of events to show support to the men and women of our Armed Forces community and our veterans. Billed as the "largest free event on the east coast" with events taking place from Sea Road to the Boating Lake, things will get underway on the Friday night with the return of the Community Carnival.
This will see dozens of floats head along the High Street and Alexandra Road along with hundreds of participants. There will then be displays and activities at the Boating Lake Paddock throughout Saturday and Sunday to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Meanwhile, a number of local dance groups and bands will be performing on the stage near to the Armed Forces Memorial Gate, in Alexandra Road, over the weekend.
These include groups from Clifton Dance Academy, as well as the All For One choir.
