As well as the air show, it was also Armed Forces Weekend where ex-servicemen and young cadets marched along the promenade to Beach Lawns.
Personnel then raised a flag and listened to Weston's mayor Cllr Sonia Russe give a speech on the work of the military.

Traffic misery ensued however as hundreds of people tried to exit Beach Road car park. Motorists were left stranded for more than an hour as cars remained at a standstill on Marine Parade.
