Rutland Remembers and Celebrates with a "Party in the Park"

The community gathered in Cutts Close for a "Party in the Park," commemorating VE Day, VJ Day, and Armed Forces Day. The event, a celebration of remembrance and appreciation, was proceeded by a parade through the town and a county service held at All Saints Church.

The "Party in the Park" was well-attended, with residents of all ages enjoying the festivities. The air was filled with music, thanks to the fantastic performances by The Rutland Big Band and talented singer Alan Jackson, who provided a enjoyable soundtrack to the day's events. Drummers also marched into the park and gave two performances.

Beyond the music, attendees explored a variety of stalls, including those featuring local crafts and displays from military charities, offering a chance to support worthy causes and discover local talent. Children were delighted with face painting, adding an extra element of fun to the day. With plenty of food and drink available, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the celebratory atmosphere.

Just after 1pm the crowd enjoyed a Lancaster fly past.
