Esther Blaine from Duxford Imperial War Museum said: “There are too many highlights to mention, but they include the wonderful Manhattan Dolls and the extraordinary Laurel and Hardy in the Vintage Village.”

The village recreated the magic of the 1940s with an authentic wartime atmosphere.

Robert Rutherford, who was over from Scotland to see the show, tweeted: “Fantastic time had at Duxford on Saturday.

“Got very sunburnt. We don’t get sunshine in Glasgow. Not used to it.”
