Show your support on Armed Forces Day

Lincoln’s branch of the Royal British Legion has organised a day of celebration for Armed Forces Day this Saturday, June 28. 

Supported by Lincoln College and a host of other sponsors the event open to all active and past serving members of the military dressed in appropriate uniform

Armed Forces Day is a national event held on the last Saturday of June to recognise and thank the men and women of the British Armed Forces, including current and past service members, reservists, veterans, and cadets.  

Chair of the City of the Lincoln Branch and Director of Estates at Lincoln College, Nick Pettit GM QGM, said: “This is going to be a really great day for the city.  As well as a parade and band event in Lincoln Market Square, just off the Cornhill, we’ll also be running a day of fun over at The Drill, where there will be live music and food available for all. 

“We wanted to ensure the future of the celebrations for Armed Forces Day and we’re really excited to be working with a range of very generous sponsors in order to make it happen. Armed Forces Day is really important to the people of Lincolnshire and so to be able to use The Drill and to make a day of it is really special and we can’t wait to welcome everyone.” 

The Parade and official event start City Square at 12 noon and runs to 3pm.
