Anglesey Abbey's Finest Hour was organised to remember the estate's involvement in the Second World War.

Viewed by many as the aircraft that won the Second World War, the Spitfire shares a special connection with the abbey.

In 1940, the Abbey's owner Lord Fairhaven dontated £5,000 towards the purchase of P7736, a Spitfire named Cambridgeshire.

A number of vehicles from the period were also on display along with historical re-enactment group Battle For Europe, which stages mock Second World War battles and the Civil Defenders, representing life on the home front.

The event was co-ordinated by estate gardener Robert Green, who has a keen interest in the Second World War.

Mr Green came up with the idea while researching his father's service years, which brought him into contact with many locals involved with the war effort.

Anglesey Abbey was one of the many large country houses requisitioned by the government for military purposes.

The war office took over land at the rear of the Abbey and many regiments spent time training there. The Abbey also played host to the 395 men from surrounding villages who joined the Home Guard.
