Spectacular celebrations marked the ninth annual Armed Forces Day, honouring the exceptional work and dedication of our brave Servicemen and women deployed around the world. A record 300 plus events including parades, military displays and community fetes took place right across the country to say thank you to the Armed Forces community for the outstanding work they do; Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and women, both Regulars and Reservists were recognised alongside the wider defence family such as Cadets and veterans past and present.

The National Event was held in Liverpool attended by His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex representing The Queen and the Royal Family. Also in attendance was the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Defence.
