Stepping off at 10am, they will parade along The Strand to Anzac Park. The tradition of Freedom of Entry dates back to medieval times when military forces were granted permission to enter a city with swords drawn, bayonets fixed, drums beating, bands playing and colours flying. Without a Freedom of Entry agreement, which indicates peaceful intent, military forces were often turned away at the city gates. The parade will be followed by the T150 Defence Force Air Show staged in partnership with the Townsville City Council. There will be an array of entertainment on the ground with live performances and food vendors along The Strand throughout the day, including a main stage at Strand Park and another smaller stage at the Gregory St amphitheatre. The Air Show will commence at 1pm along The Strand and is the only Air Show being staged by Defence this year. The Air Show will feature most of Air Force’s current fleet in addition to the latest CH47F and MRH90 helicopters from 5Avn Regt based in Townsville. What are you doing with your life?
