The whole of Hungerford came together to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, over the course of one weekend at the end of June.
We at the Arcade did our bit to join in with all the events going on over the weekend. Unit holder Jacque who has one of the front window units (unit 109) decided to go back in time to the 1940’s when the Arcade was then the local Grocery shop – Alexander’s.
The window became a grocers window during war time Britain, with great help and knowledge from local resident Susan Mayes who had some original 1940’s packaging and managed to source replica WW2 food labels etc for the display.

It was a fantastic weekend, the sun was shining, the bunting was out and on the Saturday (also Armed Forces Day), we were treated to a 60+ vintage military vehicle convoy through Hungerford High Street.
