This weekend sees the 30th Anniversary Historic Vehicle Rally. As well as hundreds of historic vehicles of all descriptions there will also be many trade stands, charity stalls and fun fair not to forget the free country & western concert on Saturday evening (see original post for more details).
Other star attractions include:
The Royal British Legion Band & Corps of Drums, Romford
This band was formed in 1952 by Mr Peter Richardson BEM and is one of the longest running independent youth bands in the UK today. The Band is of a full Military Wind band line up with a Corps of Drums and our uniform is based on Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Band.
The Band is of a very high standard and as a result of that has performed at many top events both in the UK and Europe. They are the most decorated Youth band in the UK with 9 gold medals and 3 silver medals from the World Music Championships.
The Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team
Perhaps better known as the White Helmets The Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team has been acknowledged as the oldest, best known and most accomplished motorcycle display team in the country, if not the world. The Team formed in 1927 when they performed displays of horsemanship and motorcycling skills. Horses gave way completely to motorcycles in the display in 1937 and in 1963 the Team adopted the world famous name ‘The White Helmets’.
The Team’s 25 riders on classic 750cc Triumph Tiger machines, Honda CRF 450’s and quads provide a fast paced, action packed display. Wearing the full dress uniform of the Royal Signals along with their famous White Helmets the riders will perform a combination of high speed crossovers, spectacular jumps, skilful feats of balance and numerous reverse rides. This exciting display requires a high standard of concentration, discipline and teamwork which demonstrates the courage, skill and versatility of the modern Royal Signals soldier.
