The event will include military demonstrations, static displays, and military vehicles.
A parade through town will see hundreds of current service personnel, cadets, and veterans line up with civic leaders and others at 10.45am in the Market Place for a procession led by a marching band. The parade will start at 11am and march up Parson’s Street, along Horsefair and down High Street for a salute.
A drumhead service in the Market Place will take place after the procession.
