THE public are invited to join staff and trainees at HMS Raleigh on Monday, November 5 for a grand firework display.

Two times British-champions, Fantastic Fireworks, will put on the free display, which will be viewed from the parade ground over St John’s Lake.

Gates to the training base, in Torpoint, will open at 6.30pm. Prior to the fireworks the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Plymouth will give a performance leading into a sunset ceremony, with a guard of honour drawn from the current group of recruits.

No sparklers are allowed. Only blue badge holders can park on site and there will be catering outlets to provide refreshments.
