AN IMPRESSIVE convoy of military vehicles rolled through the Pavilion forecourt this morning as part of the first day of Armed Forces Weekend.

The Weymouth community came out in force to mark the occasion with this year being the first full programme of events since the pandemic.

Today's commemorations saw a raft of military vehicles from around 10am with live music and entertainment continuing into the afternoon.
