Back in time for Whitchurch military event
Some of the original cast of hit TV comedy 'Allo 'Allo will open an inaugural event on the outskirts of a town later this year.
The Battle Reenactment Throughout the Ages event will take place at Hadley Park, Whitchurch, from August 19 to 20.
Richard Gibson, who played Herr Otto Flick, Kim Hartman, who played Private Helga Geerhart, and Guy Siner, who played Lieutenant Hubert Gruber, will all be making an appearance at the event.
As well as opening the event, they will be on site all weekend, playing scripts from the TV show.
There will be more than 150 vehicles at the event, including army tanks, trucks and Jeeps.
Various military encampments depicting historically accurate equipment and men will also entertain visitors.
There will also be medieval jousting, RAF fly past showing World War II planes, bar, 1940s band and a large number of stalls that will match the periods depicted.
The event will run from 10am to 5pm on both days and tickets cost £5 for adults and £2 for children.
Organiser Mark Whittle said: "We have got tanks, German trucks, army Jeeps, First World War ambulance – all sorts of vehicles. They won't just be stationary, they will actually be driving past people. We have also got 80 re-enactors.
"We have deliberately tried to keep the cost of the event down. We have been given a loan from Whitchurch Town Council for the event.
"We will be raising money for Paralympic archer Michael Hall, Battle Back Centre at Lilleshall and a local charity in Whitchurch."
A free shuttle bus from Tesco's in Whitchurch will take people to the event from about 9.30am.
Parking and camping are available for the whole of the event.
