Military enthusiasts are flocking to Hunsworth, Cleckheaton, this weekend for The Yorkshire Wartime experience, which got underway yesterday.
Located on 30 acres of land known as the Strawberry Fields, the event involves one of the largest First World War re-enactments in the UK.
However, in a blow for the event, organisers have revealed the Red Arrows flypast, due to take place tomorrow, has been cancelled.
The Red Arrows were due to fly over on their way to perform at another show, however, the other event has been cancelled, causing the world famous display team to change their plans.
Visitors and invited school parties have been able to meet First World War ‘Tommies’, ‘GI Joes’ from the beaches of Normandy and ladies from the Women’s Land Army of the Second World War.
