We'll meet again... at a celebration of the 40s next month.

Re-enactors and military vehicles, 1940s fashion and a static Spitfire will all be part of We Will Meet Again at Betteshanger Country Park, Deal raising money for a memorial to D-Day veterans.

The event on Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12, will be in aid of the Hill 112 Memorial Foundation, a charity set up to complete the work of Albert Figg, a D Day veteran who lived at Rough Common, Canterbury.

He spent the last 30 years of his life creating a memorial on Hill 112 in Normandy where 7,000 British troops - many of them his friends - were killed in 1940.

The Sergeant Gunner, who died three years ago, inspired the creation of the memorial that includes a Churchill tank, a field gun and a specially-commissioned statue of an unknown infantryman, to see his former colleagues remembered.

His friend, Peter Williams MBE, who is continuing Albert's work and fundraising for the completion of the memorial, said: "It is truly an amazing achievement."

The event at Betteshanger will be a chance for visitors to immerse themselves in the 40s and learn more about wartime at the site.

There will also be arts and crafts, live music, a licensed bar and a UH-1 'Huey' helicopter.

Tickets for We Will Meet Again, with gates opening at 9.30am, cost £7.50 in advance or £10 on the gate, with children under 13 free. Car parking will be £3.50 for the whole day.
