The Help for Heroes day held at Hindlip Hall, near Worcester, had parachute display teams, helicopters and bomb disposal teams entertaining thousands of people who attended, along with a number of special guests, including some brave soldiers who were themselves injured in action.

Organisers believe they have doubled the number of visitors they had at last year’s event, with an estimated 12,000 people turning up, helping to raise about £40,000 over the day for the charity.



Also on display were emergency service vehicles, tanks, helicopters and an amazing fly over by a Spitfire. The UKG were there in support for this very worthy cause, with Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Vaders Aprentice, Batman and Sean and myself as Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann. The UKG members themselves raised over £650 with their collection tins aided by the cadets who followed us around.



We had a brilliant time at this event, were well looked after by the organisers and was humbled meeting the injured servicemen. Speaking to the soldiers it brings it home what these lads go through over there in Iraq and Afganistan and they should be supported by us all. It was a pleasure to support this event!
