Armed Forces Day is a chance to show your support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community. There are many ways for people, communities and organisations across the country to show their support and get involved, from attending an event to throwing a party or local event.

Armed Forces Day celebrations begin on Monday 20th June, when the Armed Forces Day flag is raised on buildings and famous landmarks around the country.

The National event will be held at Cleethorpes in North East Lincolnshire and local events will be taking place across the country. Search or add your local event here.
