Southport armed forces day! WW2 with army vehicles and memorabilia and a tour of the Atkinson Museum

I visit Southport's famous armed forces day! Many WW2 army vehicles and memorabilia and a tour of the Atkinson Museum in historic Southport!
Armed Forces Day takes place on the last Saturday each June, falling this year on 29 June.
It is a chance to show your support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving personnel to Service families, veterans and cadets.
It also marks the culmination of a week of celebrations, beginning on Monday 24 June, when the public show their support and appreciation for the Armed Forces community. It also includes Reserves Day (26 June), which provides the country with an opportunity to recognise our Reserve Forces.
Southport is a seaside town in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in Merseyside, England. At the 2021 census, it had a population of 94,421, making it the eleventh most populous settlement in North West England.
Southport lies on the Irish Sea coast and is fringed to the north by the Ribble estuary. The town is 17 miles (27 km) north of Liverpool and 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Preston.
Southport is one of the nicest places in UK. It is quiet, peaceful and beautiful, from the seaside, marine lake, theme park, famous shopping aracades, sand dunes, forests, Victorian streets and much more, there is plenty to see and do. Festivals and events are running all year round such as the Jazz Festival, the Flower Show, the Air Show, the Golf Grand Open.

13:25 Hacksaw Ridge is the Battle of Okinowa. The film is about a soldier who wants to be a pacifist stretcher bearer. You're thinking of Heartbreak Ridge, which was a short war, over the tiny island of Grenada.

I tell a lie. Clint Eastwood's character had fought in the Korean War, as a young man. That was at Heartbreak Ridge.

You're right I was thinking of Heartbreak Ridge!
