Folkingham Remembers Operation Market Garden 2024


I must apologise for my long absence on here. I’ve had issues with my site and am also having a life declutter; finding myself once again and regaining my inner strength and confidence.

I had a wonderful time at Folkingham Remembers Operation Market Garden recently. The weather was astounding on Saturday and a constant downpour in the afternoon on Sunday! Did that put me off? Goodness no! I was the last entertainer standing and sang in the rain to a hardcore audience in a little orchard.

The church housed some incredible artefacts from Folkingham’s WW2 past, including photos, American airman uniform pieces, letters and insignia. There was even a piece of aircraft that had taken off from the airfield and unfortunately crashed in bad weather.

I was incredibly impressed how the whole village got involved. It very much felt like a community event, which was so lovely. What an incredible piece of history to have on your doorstep. Thank you for letting me be part of it!
