Support the services today TODAY is Armed Forces Day and to celebrate our servicemen and women there will be a service and parade in the city centre. Events begin at 9.30am with displays of military vehicles, information stands, music and working dogs in Humberstone Gate. Then at 10.30am it’s on to Leicester Cathedral for a service featuring the Cottesmore Military Wives Choir. This will be mainly by invitation, but with some public capacity. At 11.40am the Seaforth Highlanders Pipes and Drums will lead a parade of standards, service personnel, veterans and cadets along High Street to the Clock Tower where the Lord Lieutenant will take the salute. Armed Forces Day is a

chance to show your support for the men and women who make up the armed forces community: from currently serving troops to service families, veterans and cadets. There are many ways for people, communities and organisations across the country to show their support and get involved, from attending an event or joining us online to throwing a party or local event. Showing support for the armed forces provides a much valued morale boost for the troops and their families. You can find out more about what they are doing at home and around the world by visiting the official sites of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. The public show their support for the armed forces on

Armed Forces Day, but did you know the Armed Forces Covenant outlines how the Government, businesses and communities support armed forces personnel past and present throughout the year. The UK Armed Forces defend the UK and its interests. They are busy working around the world, promoting peace, delivering aid, tackling drug smugglers, providing security and fighting terrorism. ■ A veteran is anyone who has served in the HM armed forces at any time (including national servicemen, regulars and reserves). You can find out more information about support for Veterans on the Veterans-UK website or by calling Veterans UK on 0808 1914 218.
