Armed Forces Day celebrations in Leominster this Saturday

Herefordshire will be paying tribute to its military veterans with a host of family friendly activities in Leominster this weekend.

There will be military stands, stalls, cadet drills and displays as well as a flypast by a Lancaster bomber.

Armed Forces Day aims to raise public awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and give everyone an opportunity to show their support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community - from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets.

Chairman of the Council, Cllr Brian Wilcox said: “During this centenary year commemorating the end of the First World War, Armed Forces Day is even more important as we recall the selfless and courageous service of all our Armed Services and especially those who laid down their lives defending our freedom.”

Sunshine Radio's Gregg Upwards will be broadcasting from Corn Square with All Request Saturday between 10am and 2pm.
