HOST CITY NOTTINGHAM CELEBRATES ARMED FORCES DAY 2013

 

 

A Red Arrows fly-past and a gun salute marked the start of Armed Forces Day 2013 in Nottingham.

 

The national event, which is designed to celebrate the Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force (RAF), was held in the city for the first time.

 

About 60,000 people viewed the ceremonies taking place throughout Saturday.

 

More than 150 service personnel, two military bands and 14 horses from the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery took part in the parade, as well as 90 marching cadets and veterans from across the UK.

 

After the parade, the crowds flocked to Victoria Embankment where various displays were put on for the members of the public.
