A historic flypast will honour the heroic actions of the 1st Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment during the Korean War at this year's Cotswold Show and Country Fair in Cirencester Park.

An aerobatic display featuring aircraft, tanks and equipment used during the conflict will form one of the many highlights of the country show.

The incredible feats of bravery displayed by the regiment during the Korean War at the Battle of the Imjin River created a military legend after which they became known around the world as the Glorious Glosters.

The two-day show takes place on July 5 and 6 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the war.

Tickets are priced £7 in advance and £8 on the day.

The highlight will be a flypast involving a Lockheed T-33 Silver Star, the first military jet aircraft with a top speed of 500 mph and a Fairey Firefly, which saw frequent action during the Korean War flying from HMS Glory.

The show also features what is believed to be the largest food and drink event in the Cotswolds this year as well as the world renowned Motorcycle Display Team of the Royal Artillery, falconry, hot air balloons and 100 trade stalls.
