The Port of Dover Community Regatta was hailed a success with a turnout of about 10,000 people.

There was glorious weather during Sunday’s event at the town’s seafront.

They saw a mock yacht rescue by Dover Walmer RNLI, as well as formation flights, victory rolls and loop-the-loops by Spitfires from the Old Flying Machine Company.

Adult team winners in the Port Dash boat race were a group from Dover Harbour Board, the Wacky Racers.

Dover 2 from Dover Rugby Club came second and another DHB team, Spanner and Shovels, came third.

The sea cadets’ team Double D came top in the junior section of the race.

The Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club Race was also held with the vessel Black Diamond as the winner.

The event had more than 90 stalls and more than 80 vintage vehicles provided by Dover Transport Museum.

The regatta, like the Dover Music Festival with which it is partnered, raised money for Kelly Turner Fundraising, for the Dover teenager who needs £1 million for specialist treatment in America for a rare cancer.

The full amount raised is yet to be confirmed.
