Thousands of people are to gather to remember the lost lives of 11 Royal Marines musicians killed when an IRA bomb exploded at their barracks.
Up to 10,000 people are due to attend a memorial concert to mark the two decades that have passed since the massacre at Deal barracks in Kent on September 22, 1989.
A 15lb bomb was placed in the recreational centre changing room at the barracks' School of Music.
Ten men died instantly. An 11th bandsman died almost a month later from his injuries.
More than 20 others were injured in the blast, which flattened a three-storey accommodation block next to the centre and caused widespread damage to nearby civilian homes.
