Step back in time at the Royal County of Berkshire Show
Visitors were transported back to the wartime era with wartime re-enactors marching into the band stand to be inspected by Queen Elizabeth and Field Marshall Montgomery.
Monty then addressed the troops, telling them that women were bearing the brunt of the war effort and that this was a fight for real men and that had to "win the match."
Co-ordinator, John Leete, said: "It's very enjoyable, visitors are very interested in what we do and we've had a lot of positive feedback."
Mr Leete said that the main attraction of the show would come tomorrow when surviving land girls would take the salute in the main arena, followed by fly past from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
"That will be a real honour for us," he said.
"The reason we do it is to carry forward the spirit of remembrance for the wartime generation."
The village also features a Second World War allotment encouraging people to dig to victory, as well as war vehicles, nurses, policemen and a Bletchley Park tent.
See next week's Newbury Weekly News for a full wartime report of the show.
