Also sharing the arena with the musicians during the three-hour family event will be a range of spectacular displays including Royal Air Force Cosford Queen’s Colour, the RNRMC Field Gun Competition, the United Kingdom Disco Display Team, guest vocal soloists and the Parade of Massed Standards.

Birmingham International Tattoo organisers are looking for nominations of local community “heroes” to join them in the audience.

Producer Norman Rogerson MBE said “Through the Birmingham International Tattoo each year we commemorate those heroes who serve or the veterans who have served in the Armed Forces. As part of this year’s special Tattoo we will commemorate the heroes of the D-Day landings 75 years ago but we also want to recognise those people in the local area who are making a difference on a daily basis – our ‘E-day (Every-Day) Heroes’.”

Norman added: “Maybe you know someone who goes above and beyond to contribute to their local community or deserves recognition for supporting a charity or local project, or someone who is a full-time carer who deserves a night off. The choice is up to you why you think someone has gone the extra mile, but we want to know your nominations.”

To nominate your local heroes send a short email message to heroes@birminghamtattoo.co.uk explaining briefly why your chosen person should be recognised.

The Tattoo organisers will choose up to 75 ‘Every-Day Heroes’ from the information received and the person nominating the hero will be sent 2 tickets for themselves and 2 tickets for their nominated ‘hero’ to the Saturday 23 November performance of the Tattoo where they can experience the pomp and pageantry of Britain’s biggest indoor Tattoo.
