Bill Harriman held a question and answer session about the history of the exhibits at the new museum at Thoresby Hall, which is due to open at the end of this spring.
As a former Territorial Army Officer with the South Notts Hussars and the Sherwood Rangers, Bramcote-born Bill was the guest of honour at a special event for friends and supporters of the museum.
The attraction will chronicle the history of the Queen's Royal Lancers and the Nottinghamshire Yeomanry and tell the human, social and military history of the regiments as well as the ongoing story of the British Army today.
A collection of arms, uniforms, medals, silver and paintings will show the role that the local regiments have played in battles of the last three centuries.
As well as giving his expert view on some of the most notable exhibits from the museum, including the Balaclava Bugle, which sounded the Charge of the Light Brigade, Bill also spoke about his work on Antiques Roadshow.
