Finals preparations are underway as this year's Millport Emergency Services Day is set to take place.

The highly anticipated island event will take place on September 8, from 12 noon until 4pm at the Garrison House grounds.

The free event sees emergency organisations from across the country descend on the island for a day combining fun with vital information.

The special fallout parade will take place at 4pm with police, fire, ambulance, coastguard and American police cars confirmed to attend.

Last year's event saw over 5,000 people flock to Cumbrae for the first Millport Emergency Services Day in three years following from the pandemic and Queen Elizabeth's death.

The day is organised by Radio Millport founder Stevie Muir, a resident and retained firefighter on the island.
