CHALKE History Festival ramped it up to Top Gear as James May and the cast of Horrible Histories joined in with the fun on the fifth and sixth days.

Day four saw war re-enactments and live music, while the fifth day saw Horrible Histories and Ghosts cast members Ben Willbond and Laurence Rickard take to a panel to discuss the history behind Ghosts and reminisce about the highs and lows of filming the hugely successful series.

On the sixth day, Top Gear and The Grand Tour's James May took to the stage to share his expertise about his favourite subject, cars, and also talk about his new book.

As if that wasn't enough, guests were treated to a flyover by a Spitfire, which took to the skies, rather fittingly marking Armed Forces Day.

The sun beamed down on the festival, with all in attendance marvelling at the site of the legendary Second World War aircraft dancing through the sky.

Previous days saw two performances from British comedian Al Murray, who delivered a talk with James Holland on the biggest events from the year of 1944, recording a special live show of the hit Second World War podcast We Have Ways Of Making You Talk.

The live recording was followed by an evening stand-up show by Al Murray in his persona as the pub landlord, with the comedian taking a night off from his nationwide tour, Guv Island, drinking deep from the first draught of history.
