Today on the second annual Armed Forces Day, Britain is demonstrating its support for the nation’s servicemen.

More than 350 events have been organised across the country to honour troops past, present and future, and 50,000 people are expected to join a national event in Cardiff to be attended by the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the outgoing head of the Armed Forces Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, and Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox.

BZ to those past and present.

Remember, too, those for whom the leaving routine will never be completed.

(Video soldiers only, so apologies to the Senior Service and to the 100 Year Experiment)
