A special exhibition of artwork created by ex-service personnel will go on display, and is set to coincide with Armed Forces Day.<\/p>\n
The artists behind the work are those that have gone through mental health treatment funded by the charity Combat Stress, at their Surrey Treatment Centre.<\/p>\n
The work has been produced as part of a creative treatment programme used within the Art Therapy and Occupational Therapy sessions.<\/p>\n
It will go on display in Surrey Cathedral from June 22nd to 28th.<\/p>\n
This year, Armed forces Day takes place on June 27th and will be marked by a number of events taking place across the country.<\/p>\n
Other events in the pipeline include a Military Pageant with WWI Commemoration Airshow, which is held in honour of the contribution made by soldiers.<\/p>\n
The show will include flying displays of some of the most genuine, rare First World War aircraft in Europe.<\/p>\n
Families will also be able to see and experience many aspects of the life of a First World War soldier by visiting the Living History Area in Flitwick.<\/p>\n
The event takes place at number 10, Vicarage Hill on July 5th.<\/p>\n
In Ripley, the local town council will be holding a carnival. It will include a parade through the town with floats and military vehicles.<\/p>\n
Local cadet forces will be attending the event, which will include a food and a bar for the entire weekend.<\/p>\n
It will also feature entertainment, as well as play facilities for the children and families and parking will be available.
