A SPECIAL concert commemorating the diamond anniversary of the Dambuster raids takes place at Redditch's Palace Theatre on Sunday.
And war veterans are encouraged to attend wearing their medals.
The famous mission by the Lancaster bombers of 617 Squadron took place on the night of May 16, 1943, when the dams of one of Germany's vital industrial areas were targeted by the Bouncing Bombs.
The Dambuster Prom will be performed by the English Philharmonic Orchestra and will feature music associated with the war years.
The first half includes the Colditz March, Reach for the Sky, The Great Escape and the famous Dambusters March.
Classic Last Night of the Proms' favourites feature in the second half, with Rule Britannia, and Nimrod, among others.
Tickets cost £13 (£12 with Reddicard) from the Tourist Information Centre or on 65203.
