The seafront is set to welcome tens of thousands of spectators to marvel at RAF aerobatic displays above the South Baymilitary parades, music performances and Royal Navy ships moored off the coast on Saturday June 25.
Festivities on the day kick off at 10am with highlight events including displays from the Red ArrowsRAF Falcons Parachute Team, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and an RAF Typhoon – when Scarborough‘s skies will be filled with the roars from the engines of the RAF’s most spectacular aircraft.
The national event, which attracts anywhere between 100,000 and 200,000 people and figures including the Prime Minister and Royal family, was meant to be held in the summers of 2020 and 2021 but was twice postponed due to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic.
Armed Forces Day is a national celebration and public show of support for those currently serving in the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force as well as veterans, reservists and their families.
It is expected that there will be an increase in traffic in Scarborough across the weekend as, at the time of writing, there is set to be widespread disruption for visitors traveling to the coast with a rail strike scheduled for Saturday.
Ahead of the event, there will be some road closures around Scarborough.
Event organizers have written to residents directly affected by the closures and are providing surrounding parking places free of charge while access is restricted.
All vehicles must be moved from event areas and any vehicles still on site will be removed and a charge may be enforced to recover a vehicle.
Blue badge holders are also unable to leave there cars parked in event areas.
