ON GUARD German infantryman Dave Ridding in the tower grounds.
THE ancient courtyards at Hoghton Tower echoed to the sounds of the Second World War over the holiday weekend.
Crowds were wowed by a display of 16 parachutists, a six-wheeled armoured car, and relics from the war.
Organisers also set up a German army encampment in the grounds, and rigged up a working military radio, as well as holding a shooting display and ‘Great Escape’ re-enactment.
Period hairstyling and cookery demonstrations were also on offer at the event, on Sunday.
