Who Do You Think You Are? Live has returned for their 10th anniversary at Birmingham's NEC.
Promising to be 'the biggest and best show yet', visitors will be able to explore different stalls, workshops and talks.
Visitors are invited to Ask the Experts about personal family histories, book workshops with the Society of Genealogists, and wander through the ages with a Military Checkpoint, where visitors can bring all kinds of military artefacts for identification from military exhibitors and experts.
The three day event starts on 7 April from 9:30am until 17:30. Throughout the event guests will be sent back to WW2 with the Forces War Records, who are lucky enough to share their replica RAF Hut with the Spitfire complete with crew in full uniform.
Ticket prices start from £16 advance and can be bought from the WDYTYA website.
