Several benches, with a military theme, have been installed around the Craft Centre for some time, but tomorrow is the official unveiling ceremony for them, at noon.
The first one to be installed commemorates the Falklands War, and is near the bus stop.
Then there is one inside the Craft Centre courtyard, with a Second World War theme. I was told, by one of the volunteers at St Michael's Hospice shop, that all the things depicted on the bench have a connection to Hay - so there are the Land Girls, and the bridge at Arnhem, a bomber and a ship.
At the top of the car park looking out towards Cusop Dingle, the third bench commemorates the women of the SOE, including local heroine Violette Szabo.
