This year it is 80 years since the beginning of the war and there will be various dignitaries there to help with the commemoration – you can hardly say “celebration”. It begins at 7pm and tickets are £9.

It starts at 10am and admission is a bargain 50p which includes refreshments.

Stalls include bric-a-brac, tombola, toiletries and of course cakes.

During the morning the annual raffle will be drawn - you can still buy tickets and there will also be a door raffle. I don’t think the prize is a new door!.

While we are looking at events coming up, I don’t think I’ve given you an up to date list of the Headland Proms over at St Hilda’s this summer. So, here goes:

On Saturday, July 6, there is ‘Music for a summer evening’ with the Silverwood Wind band and two weeks later, there is more ‘Music for a summer evening’ with the Life Choir. Both of these start at 7.30pm and tickets, at £6, include light refreshments.

On Monday, August 26, there is a lunchtime ‘Organ Spectacular’ with Daniel Cook at 12.30pm. Tickets are £6 and include a light lunch.

The ever popular ‘Last Night of the Proms’ takes place on Saturday, October 26, featuring the Oddfellows Band.

As it starts at 2pm, it should more properly be named the ‘Last Afternoon of the Proms’.

However, tickets for the event cost £9 and include an interval drink.
