Armed Forces Day 23

People are invited to join them for what is a chance to celebrate our Armed Forces Community - from currently troops to service families, veterans and cadets.

Provost Boyd said: “The week and Armed Force Day itself provide us all with an opportunity to say thank you to our Armed Forces Community for their hard work and commitment. This annual public show of support is undoubtedly an important morale booster for them all.

“Please take time to show your support for our armed services.”
