THE Red Arrows are due to fly over Withernsea on Sunday, as the town celebrates its emergency services.
The RNLI, police, ambulance and fire service will be giving demonstrations on the town's seafront from 12.30pm at the annual Water Safety Day.
The Red Arrows, based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, have flown more than 4,500 displays and are celebrating their 50th season this year.
Councillor Gordon Hodgson, one of the event's organisers, said: "The fly- past by the Red Arrows is due to take place from 3pm to 4pm.
"It should be a great day. The aim is to show the public the amount of emergency services that spring into action when necessary."
The Water Safety Day was started more than 30 years ago following a tragic drowning in Easington.
Councillor Hodgson was on the original organising committee back in 1979, when it was agreed to stage an event to raise awareness of the emergency services and water safety.
"The Water Safety Day is a brilliant event," he said.
"There will be demonstrations throughout the afternoon, although some of these can change.
"There was one year when the ambulance, police and helicopter were all called to emergencies.
"I would urge people to come along and see what's going on and talk to the emergency services. It's a good opportunity to see the equipment the emergency services use as well."
Also taking place on the day is an annual raft race.
Councillor Hodgson said: "We have at least eight rafts taking part this year, which is more than last year."
Volunteers from Withernsea's RNLI are holding a volunteer recruitment day at the event in a bid to attract people to a range of roles.
Martin Woodhouse, Withernsea RNLI lifeboat operations manager, said people do not need to have seagoing experience to get involved with the RNLI.
He said: "The RNLI provides fantastic training to turn ordinary people into lifesavers and, by volunteering, people will gain some great experience, knowledge and skills.
"For those who don't want to get involved at the sharp end, on the lifeboat, there are other support and fundraising opportunities with the RNLI in Withernsea."
To qualify as lifeboat crew, volunteers must be:
• Living or working in or within approximately three miles of Withernsea.
• Physically fit.
• Not colour blind.
• Entertainment news from the Hull Daily Mail
