Thousands of people are expected to flock to Walmer on Sunday for a concert by the

Royal Marines band.

The Marines On The Green event starts at 2pm.

Musicians will be under the direction of Maj Nick Grace, principal director of music for the band.

He said: “As always I know the band will receive a special welcome from those attending the concert and this will be one of the best engagements we do during the year.”
