A flypast will take place above Nottinghamshire by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The flight will take place at the High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire’s Community Festival at RSPB Sherwood Forest in Edwinstowe on Sunday, June 11.
As part of the event, there is a scheduled flypast of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at 1pm on the day, in recognition of the role of the High Sheriff, professor Veronica Pickering DL, as an Honorary Air Commodore of the 504 (County of Nottingham) Squadron, with whom she has been working on issues of diversity and inclusion.
Among the guests at Sunday’s event will be the Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, Sir John Peace. Prof Pickering said: “It is a great privilege to be appointed High Sheriff of my county.
"For that county to be Nottinghamshire has a particular resonance for the office of High Sheriff too. The Festival is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of young people, and those organisations working for and with them, across our county. Where better for the High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire to do that than in Sherwood Forest?”
