The third annual 1940s weekend in Welshpool took place this weekend.

The event brings together displays and activities relating back to the 1940s, and has proved a hit with the locals and people from Montgomeryshire in recent years.

Displays of the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway took place at Raven Square and Llanfair station, and there was a tea dance in the church house, bands playing at various locations, and stalls all weekend.

A Spitfire displayalso took place near the town hall on Sunday, along with a 'Kings Speech,' a blitz ball, a variety show, concert and more.
