The latest edition of the Medway Messenger is out today, reflecting the excitement of the first national Armed Forces Day at Chatham's Historic Dockyard.

We have six pages of pictures and reports from the event which drew a crowd of 30,000 plus those who lined the streets to cheer a parade of veterans and services personnel from Chatham High Street to the dockyard.

We also have the latest news including the amazing story of how an online shopper was charged £1,000, yes £1,000, for a tin of Full Monty baked beans meal and how a hunt for a missing six-year-old ended happily.

Our feature page looks at the veteran paddle steamer Kingswear Castle, a familiar sight on the River Medway, and we have a story and pictures from the Chief Constable's visit to Chatham.

On the entertainment front, you can check out the latest names to sign up for Aladdin, this year's pantomine at the Central Theatre in Chatham, and Out on the Towns, Jenni Horn's two-page guide to the local leisure scene.

Our sports pages bring you up to date with the Gills as they prepare to return to pre-season training on Thursday and there's a picture special from the Medway Messenger Sunday League presentations.

If you're looking for work there are 90 job ads in today's paper.

So many reasons to buy the Medway Messenger - in the shops now.
