HBC PRESS RELEASE

Special service to honour our Armed Forces

A PARADE and service will be held in Hartlepool on Saturday 28th June in honour of all those who have served or are serving in the Armed Forces.

Armed Forces Day honours the outstanding contributions made by current members of the Armed Forces and by veterans of all ages.

Organised by the Combined Ex-Servicemen's Association, it is an opportunity to come together to pay tribute to our Armed Forces past, present and future.

Anyone wishing to march in the parade should meet at the car park near the Jackson's Wharf public house at the Marina by 10.40am. The parade will then march to the nearby Hartlepool's Maritime Experience car park where the short service will be held at 11am.

Among those taking part in the parade this year will be the ship's company of HMS Hurworth.

Once the service is over, the parade will march back to the Jackson's Wharf car park where it will fall out.

People who only wish to attend the service should assemble at the Hartlepool's Maritime Experience car park at 10.50am.

For further information about the event call (01429) 523702 or 523704
