Next generation takes on passion for WW2 vehicles

"I absolutely will be carrying on the family tradition in the future," says Miss Dyer

One of the organisers behind Guernsey's Liberation Day cavalcade has said she plans to keep the tradition alive well into the future.

Laura Dyer, 33, said she was "born into" the Guernsey Military Vehicle Group through her father Stuart, who has been involved with the organisation for four decades and is its current chairman.

About 250 historic and military vehicles participated in the cavalcade as part of the events marking the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day on Friday.

Miss Dyer said it took about 12 months to organise the cavalcade.

Miss Dyer said it was important to keep the cavalcade alive to remember and celebrate freedom in the Channel Islands.

"I absolutely will be carrying on the family tradition in the future," she said.

"I've been involved with the group since I was a little girl. I was born into it pretty much.

"My Dad said I had no choice but to be interested.

"But I didn't have to have much encouragement because it is something I really enjoy."

The Guernsey Military Vehicle Group is dedicated to preserving and restoring military vehicles in the island.
