Recently the city of Plymouth officially accepted the honour of hosting the Armed Forces Day national celebrations for 2012 as the official flag was delivered to the city.

The Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Councillor Peter Brookshaw, accepted the flag on behalf of the city and promised a first class programme of events to honour our forces past and present.

Plymouth will host the national celebrations on Saturday 30 June 2012 in a spectacular event on Plymouth Hoe which will provide a unique opportunity to see the Armed Forces up-close and will feature displays on land and sea and in the air from current personnel, veterans, cadet forces, the Merchant Navy, support agencies and charities.
