Aside from a full day of activities and stalls around the Racecourse, there was a parade along the final furlong of the racecourse, led by Eric Howden BEM.

“I have been leading the parade for many years now and every year myself, and the service personnel always receive a wonderful, warm reception, which we really appreciate.” - Eric Howden BEM

The event supports Help for Heroes, The Royal British Legion and The Felix Fund - a bomb disposal charity based in Catterick Garrison.

General manage of the racecourse Amy Fair said: “We always look forward to our Help for Heroes Family Fun Day, because not only is it a fantastic day out for all the family, but it’s a proud day for us to be supporting such good causes.”
