Councillor Pam Redford, Chairman of Warwick District Council and the Council’s
Armed Forces Champion, said: “Our armed forces community have dedicated
their lives to serving our country and it is important that as a district we come
together not only to celebrate, but also to say thank you.
“This is a completely free event with guaranteed fun for all the family that has
only gone from strength to strength over the years, so please do come and join
us to celebrate and thank our armed forces.”
