The Royal British Legion volunteers, known for organising the annual classic military vehicle convoy, will play a pivotal role in the June 27 event.
After official proceedings, the convoy is set to travel a commemorative route through Fleet, Hartley Wintney, Hook and Odiham, finally reaching Anstey Park in Alton.

A spokesperson said: "Our route has been modified to allow for the flexibility of time allocated for Aldershot.
"Our destination is Alton, a town that has always given us great support.
"We are also very pleased to be able to deliver this historic event to the many communities along the route."
They continued: "Our success with previous convoy events since 2017 and the support from the public and the business community has culminated in this wonderful opportunity."
The convoy is a tribute to the nation's Armed Services, honouring both past and present members, and serves as a salute to the veterans who attend the event.
