event in honour of the charity on September 3rd, with the band of the Royal Logistic Corps headlining the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Susan Mackrell, chief officer of Bicester Town Council, says the event is &quot;incredibly exciting&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Colonel Angus Mathie, Commander at Bicester Garrison, comments: &quot;The work [Help for Heroes] has done and continues to do for our injured service personnel and their families makes an enormously beneficial impact on their lives in what is always a very traumatic time.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Traditional classical songs will be sung during a firework finale of the event and TV auctioneer Charlie Ross, who has starred in the BBC's Flog It, is the compere.<\/p>\n<p>The town has hosted similar occasions in the past, but it is hoped this year will be bigger than ever and raise plenty of money for the chosen charity.<\/p>\n<p>Help for Heroes aims to assist those injured while on duty and was established by Bryn and Emma Parry in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800706256-ADNFCR\"
