EX-SERVICEMEN will join other members of the public in commemorating the sixth anniversary of Thornaby's Airman Statue.

Erected in Thornaby Road in 1997, the statue is a tribute to airmen from Thornaby who lost their lives.

Thornaby Town Council has organised an anniversary event, on Sunday, May 4. It begins at 11am at the statue, then moves on to war graves at Thornaby Cemetery, in Acklam Road. The event will end with refreshments at Thornaby Ex-Service Club.
