Hundreds of Island war veterans will take part in a day of celebration, this National Veterans' Day. In Cowes, the event will be marked with an outdoor Drumhead service at Northwood House.
Isle of Wight Council Chairman Arthur Taylor said "It is an honour for the Council and myself in my role as Chairman to honour the hundreds of war veterans who will be attending. Many fought for the freedom we take for granted today, and by celebrating Veterans Day, it gives us a chance to show how much we appreciate their bravery and loyalty to their country."
