Mayor of Falmouth, Councillor Steve Eva, said: “As the Mayor of Falmouth and an ex-serviceman, I am proud and delighted that Falmouth has been chosen to showcase this prestigious event. “We have a deep affiliation with the Armed Forces and a strong historical link. This is a fantastic event, and one that I know will be greatly welcomed by our local communities."
