On Sunday 6th September 2009 an event was held at Landguard Fort Felixstowe to remember the onset of hostilities 70 years previously when WWII started. Two British Legion Bands performed music for the audience and at the various parades that were held both at the Fort and in the town of Felixstowe earlier in the day - Leiston Band and the Long Melford Corps of Drums. Displays were also held by the Polo Majorettes and the Legion's Riders Branch as well as parades by the Standard Bearers. Other displays were hidden away in various rooms of the Fort.
The winners of this year's competition were John Levy (third from left, back row) and Mrs Shelia Jeffrey (second from left front row).
