CROWDS of nostalgia fans have massed in 1940s costumes to celebrate the work of North York Moors communities during the Second World War.
The 20th North Yorkshire Moors Railway In Wartime Weekend saw Levisham, Goathland, Grosmont and Pickering transformed into historic locations and an RAF base.
As scores of schoolchildren dressed as evacuees, each of the stations along the heritage railway line were taken over by a different group, with a traditional NAAFI at Pickering, wartime music and dance at Grosmont, Home Guard at Goathland, and Levisham becoming the occupied French village of Le Visham.
Wayne and Melanie Brown, of Marske, east Cleveland, said they made a point of visiting the wartime event every year.
The couple said: “The weather this year has made it fantastic, and there seems to be a really good atmosphere.”
