Battle of Britain memorial parade takes place today in Stamford
Hundreds are expected to attend
Hundreds are expected in Stamford's town centre today as the Battle of Britain memorial parade takes to the streets.
This is to a commemorates a military air campaign from 1940 - where the RAF defended the United Kingdom against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's air force.
The battle was won by the Royal Air Force (RAF) Fighter Command.
It's often thought as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces.
Today, 83 years on from the Battle of Britain, a memorial parade is taking place to remember those that served.
This is expected to start at 11am - with a march from Broad Street with the RAF, Royal British Legion members and school cadets.
They will be accompanied by local group Stamford Brass who will be playing music as the march unfolds.
This group will assemble at the war memorial, where there will be a general salute.
At 11:49, a flypast is scheduled with some of the old aircrafts to signal the end of the parade.
Locals are then welcomed to a special Battle of Britain church service, which will be followed by a march to the town hall.
The Mayor of Stamford, Andy Croft, said:
"It's so important to the whole country and to celebrate the end of the war when the Battle of Britain first happened, should be something we should never forget.
"We should always draw inspiration from those people, what they gave for us and we should always remember them."
