Croydon’s Civic Mayor has travelled to its twin town in the Netherlands on the 80th anniversary on the Battle of Arnhem.

The borough has been twinned with Arnhem since 1985.

The battle saw allied paratroopers, including those from Croydon, attempt to liberate the town through Operation Market Garden.

The Civic Mayor, Cllr Kola Agboola, and the Mayoress, Mrs Helen Agboola will represent the borough on the three- day trip.
