ARMED Forces Day has been marked at Royal Star & Garter’s three homes in Solihull, Surbiton and High Wycombe.
Special AFD flags were raised by veterans outside the sites to celebrate the da.
Residents at the Surbiton home also received HM Armed Forces Veterans Badges in recognition of their military service.
The badges were given to veterans at Surbiton by Royal Star & Garter’s director of people Kate Silver.
She said: “It was an honour to hand out the badges to the men and women who served our country, who now live at Royal Star & Garter.
“Armed Forces Day is an important day for our veterans, and allows us to show our gratitude to them and the wider Armed Forces community.”
There was also live music in Solihull with jazz and rock n’ roll singer Jeep Johnson, and the Armed Forces Day flag was raised by Brian Bucknall, who enjoyed a 36-year career in the Army. Some residents also attended the opening of a Poppy Path at the Armed Forces Community Garden.
In High Wycombe, residents were VIP guests at a ‘Salute to our Forces’ fun day at The Crown pub in Hazelmere.
