Celebrations, held at Pontefract Park, included a special Battle of Britian Memorial Flypast, with Squadron Leader Al Luckins flying Spitfire MkVb AB910 over the event site. This plane was flown during D-Day in the Second World War.
There was also the Wings Free Fall Parachute Display Team dropping by.
Local Armed Forces groups, emergency services personnel, veterans’ groups and community groups held stalls and demonstrations at the event, alongside a plentiful host of food and drink stalls and a craft market.
There was also entertainment from local dance groups, children’s rides and activities for the whole family.
