LEDBURY High Street will be closed on Armed Forces Day, together with St Katherine's car park, which will be used for displays and the siting of temporary toilets.

Up to 7,000 people are expected for the event.

Letters went out to town centre traders this week, to inform them of the High Street closure.

Disabled visitors will be allowed to park in Bye Street car park, and Bridge Street car park will be open and free to all.

A park and ride service, from the car boot field site, off the Ross Road, will be in operation, bring visitors up New Street by bus to the town centre.

This will be the first time that Herefordshire Armed Forces Day has taken place outside Hereford.
