This Saturday, the 24th June, is National Armed Forces Day.

Here in Aberdeen there will be a parade of serving military personnel, veterans’ associations, cadet and youth organisations accompanied by local pipe bands and vintage military vehicles down Union Street from 11am, finishing at the Castlegate.

The parade is a celebration of the history and proud record of the armed forces and allows people in Aberdeen to show their respect for the role they play within our society.
