Despite some unsettled weather prior to this event, Desborough in the 1940s enjoyed a sunny September day! The festivities started at 12.00pm with the sound of an air raid siren and then we were all able to imagine we had re-visited wartime Britain.
Vintage vehicles lined the street, there were costumed re-enactors including WWII
soldiers with a jeep and lots of stalls and vintage shopping for the enthusiasts!
The Heritage Centre provided displays and showed Pathe News from the 1940s and there was music and entertainment for everyone to enjoy! Another friendly and enjoyable event from Desborough.
