Taking place on the last Saturday in June, Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for the country to show its support for the Armed Forces. It's something that I know many of us in the local community pride ourselves on.
So, it was a great honour to join local representatives, members of the armed forces, and related organisations at the Armed Forces Day flag raising in Trinity Square this morning, marking the start of the celebrations ahead of Saturday's events.
You can find out more about Armed Forces Day on the official website, where you can also check out what events are taking place both nationally and locally.
If you’re a veteran or a member of the Armed Forces and you’re facing an issue that you could use some assistance with, then please remember that you can get in touch with myself and my team by either calling 020 8773 2843 or emailing elliot.colburn.mp@parliament.uk.
