The Hampshire - Surrey border.
The Sunday Market and the neighbouring Airport on the morning of Sunday the 31st March 2013.
It was a cold and breezy day with brief periods of sunshine.

The final Market opening day was Sunday, the 3rd of May, 2015
.
British Car Auctions (BCA), which had owned the land and the Market since 1984, confirmed on Tuesday the 5th of May 2015 that the market would no longer take place due to a decline in trade.

Rumours of the market's imminent closure had been circulating via social media since January 2015. However, BCA had vehemently denied that there was any truth in them.
At the time, BCA even began making regular announcements over the market's PA, refuting rumours that it would close, which continued into the last few weeks.
Despite this, traders were told that the market had been cancelled with immediate effect on Tuesday morning,

A number of important people landed at the airport including:
King George VI
Queen Elizabeth
