Did you know that this year is the first UK Armed Forces Day? Saturday 27 June is a red letter day for Britain’s Armed Forces: the inaugural Armed Forces Day, celebrating the work of the Navy, Army, Air Force and the wider forces family.

Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for the nation to show its support for the service men and women both retired and still serving, it’s an opportunity to honor and celebrate the work they do in support of our country.
