Councillor Tom Fox, Leader of Scarborough Borough Council said: "The council is happy to support this event in giving all Armed Forces personnel the recognition they deserve for the contribution they make, not just to the security of the country and other places but also the well being and humanitarian aid they provide in times of disaster and emergency. They put their lives on the line in so many different ways and in different scenarios that it is important for people to be reminded of just that. We are so keen to ensure everyone can have a real fun day of activities in celebrating all of what they do."
