A celebration of the Armed Forces in Morecambe will expand to three days when it returns this summer.

Lancaster & Morecambe District Armed Forces weekend will take place from Friday June 19 to Sunday June 21.

Organisers announced they have provisionally booked parachute display teams The Red Devils and The RAF Falcons to return, as well as The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

There will also be a static Spitife display, drumming from Samba Espirito, live music, the Accrington Pipe Band, a military parade, a re-enactment, hundreds of stalls, charities and organisations, a biker parade and much more.

Special flypasts, performances and entertainment will be announced later in the year.

Armed Forces Day is a chance for people to show their support to those who make up the Forces community, from currently serving personnel to service families, veterans and cadets.

At last year's event, the world famous aerial display team the Red Arrows flew over Morecambe Bay twice at Armed Forces Day, drawing huge crowds to the Stone Jetty.
