Kent remembers the 'Dutch Raid' with a host of events

Preparations are underway for a series of major events in Kent this summer to mark 350 years since the Dutch attack on the River Medway.

Over ten days in June there will be exhibitions, sporting events and visits from a flotilla of Dutch yachts as well as the Royal Navy.

The "Dutch Raid" as it was known was a humiliating defeat for Britain - and like most British defeats, it's not one that our history books tell us much about.
