THOUSANDS of families flocked to the fifth running of an annual military and vintage show.

Cressing Temple played host to Temple At War on Saturday with around 4,000 people turning up to enjoy re-enactments, performances and browse stalls and military vehicles.

Organiser Glenn Caton said: “It was the best one we have had – it was really, really good.

“The weather was a bit wet on the Saturday, but I think if anything that added to the atmosphere really.

“In the end we had about 4,000 through the door and we had people from all over Europe.

“I spoke to people who had come from Germany, Poland and Holland, and now the hard work starts for next year.

“We’ll sit down as a team and think about what worked well and what didn’t work so well, and start booking the acts.”
