ARMED Forces veterans are invited to a special event hosted by Bombers Café at Orsett (RM16 3BD) and owner Chris Martin.

The Veterans Barbecue is on Saturday, 16 August from 1.30pm, when a relaxed afternoon of good food and music will take place. It will also feature music.

It is described as 'a chance to honour and thank our veterans, who should be treated like the heroes they are'.

All veterans are welcome and they will not be charged.
