fs Nostalgia filled afternoon at Rimington


A DISPLAY of militaria was among the highlights of a special VE Day anniver­ sary celebration at Riming­ ton.


Middop resident Toni Park­ er encouraged friends and residents to search their cupboards and attics, and dig deep to ensure a nostal­ gia-filled afternoon at Rim- ington’s Memorial Insti­ tute.


As visitors stepped into the building, Tony Platt’s col­ lection of memorabilia from two 'world wars proved to be a major draw. A resident of Rimington,

Mr Platt has spent two decades collecting items, his interest resulting from exchanging German mili­ taria during his school days in the ’60s.


Ammunition, helmets, uni­ forms, shells, guns and doc­ uments all proved popular with visitors young and old.


It was fitting that the event was held in the institute, which is dedicated to the memory of some 20 resi­ dents who lost their lives during the two world wars.
