MILITARY display teams will descend on Manchester this summer for the region's first Tattoo. The biggest indoor military tattoo takes place on June 7 and 8. Gun teams, pipe bands and military experts will carry out displays in what will be the first time that this event has come to Manchester.

The tattoo is being supported by many regiments, including the 1st Kings Regiment and the Plymouth Field Gun teams.

The event is being staged at the MEN Arena. Tickets cost £15 and concessionary tickets are available.
