Their skill, precision and teamwork kept the crowds entertained throughout the day, and their displays were a real highlight of the event. It takes an incredible amount of dedication and talent to perform at such a high standard, and we are incredibly grateful that they joined us.

🇬🇧 One of the highlights of this year's Eastbourne Armed Forces Day celebrations was the spectacular Chinook flypast.

In support of the event, we were honoured to welcome a flypast by a RAF Chinook helicopter from 28 (Army Cooperation) Squadron, based at RAF Benson. The unmistakable sound of those twin rotors and the sight of this iconic aircraft flying over Eastbourne made for a truly memorable moment that was enjoyed by everyone attending the celebrations.

A special thank you to retired Captain Steve Hall, whose hard work and dedication in organising the flypast helped make this incredible tribute possible.

📸 Here are a few photographs from the flypast.
