series of events have been planned for the Messingham Grange Recreation and Showground, the Scunthorpe Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n<p>A father and son are completing a sponsored walk of the Yorkshire Wolds National Trail to collect cash for various military charities.<\/p>\n<p>Tony and Wayne Murphy will cover a distance of 79 miles with 30kg bags on their backs.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I have done a lot of long distance walking before and we needed funds for the day so I decided to organise a trek,&quot; Tony Murphy stated.<\/p>\n<p>He continued by saying that 30,000 people living in Scunthorpe have connections with the armed forces and so the event is always well supported.<\/p>\n<p>On the day itself, individuals can expect to see military displays and entertainment, while a pie and peas supper will be laid on.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801319480-ADNFCR\"
