Service men and women from a Leconfield barracks will parade through the streets in celebration of Armed Forces Day.
On Sunday 7 July personnel from the Defence School of Transport (DST), based at Normandy Barracks, Leconfield, will exercise the Freedom of the East Riding at Beverley’s Armed Forces Day.
The freedom is the highest honour the East Riding of Yorkshire Council can bestow, and was granted at Beverley’s second Armed Forces Day in 2010.
Coun David Elvidge, chair of Beverley Armed Forces Day and SSAFA Forces Help East Yorkshire which manages the event, said: “I am delighted that the Defence School of Transport will once again take centre stage in Beverley and I would ask the public to join us and line the streets to welcome our servicemen and women into the Town as they enter through the Medieval North Bar, before marching into Saturday Market Place”.
Commandant DST Colonel Rob Peacock, said: “The officers and other ranks from the Royal Marines, Army and Royal Air Force serving at DST really appreciate and value the honour of having the Freedom of the East Riding.
“It is a great opportunity for us to show our gratitude to the people of the East Riding for their past and ongoing support, especially on Armed Forces Day.”
