Chance to honour our Armed Forces

Gloucester City Armed Forces Day takes place tomorrow (Saturday).

The parade, led by Nailsworth Silver Band, starts from Gloucester Cathedral at 12.30pm, heading to the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum at Gloucester Docks.

After the parade there will be a family day at The Docks with stalls from service charities, live entertainment and hopefully displays plus military artefacts in front of the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum.

This event is the opportunity for the citizens of our historic city to honour and thank our Armed Forces for their dedication to duty, their sacrifice and their service to our country.

This includes serving personnel, both regular and reserve, cadets and veterans.

A spokesperson said: "We intend to celebrate our military, hence any military stalls will be entirely the call of Units (some recruit this way such as the Rifles), the emphasis is for the participating personnel and their families to come and enjoy it.

"We are working in conjunction with the relevant POCs from Imjin Barracks including HQ ARRC, as well as the city council."

Invitees will include COMARRC, HMLL and the city Mayor and Sheriff.
