After the cavalcade the vehicles will be on display in St Peter Port

A display of all vehicles will be on show after the cavalcade at St Peter Port between 15:00-17:00.

Jeff Vidamour, director of the Liberation Day Cavalcade, said: "We know the cavalcade is one of the most popular parts of the day's celebrations.

"It is a wonderful event to be part of, and the vehicle owners enjoy it as much as the people who line the route, waving their flags and cheering us past."
