A historically themed event is taking place it an Ipswich showground this weekend, with TV celebrities in tow for meet and greets.

The Suffolk Military Show moved to Trinity Park, on the outskirts of Ipswich, three years ago when organisers needed more space. Now the show takes up half of the 100 hectare showground.

All three will be available for personal meet and greets and autographs.

51 Degree Events, which organises the show, is family-run by the Catons who say it's an "immersive and interaction experience".

The show has an 'outstanding reputation for scale and high quality re-enactment on display' (Image: Suffolk Military Show) The two day event happening on Saturday and Sunday showcases more than 1,000 years of military history.
