Final preparations are taking place for the celebrations to honour the Armed Forces community on Saturday 29 June.

A parade will take place at 11am through the city centre followed by entertainment for the whole family at Elmfield Park. This year’s focus is youth with a number of displays taking place by the Cadets from all services, as well as a Military Village of demonstrations and stalls.

The commemorations will begin on Monday 24 June with the Armed Forces Day Flag being raised in Sir Nigel Gresley Square and a speech from Mayor Ros Jones.
