Armed Forces Day marked with family event

A parade, music and funfair will all feature in a family fun day to celebrate the work of the armed forces in Wolverhampton.

The festivities at West Park to mark Armed Forces Day run from noon to 16:00 BST on Saturday 28 June.

Serving personnel, cadets and veterans from the city's Freedom Units will march in a parade on the day.

Craig Collingswood, Wolverhampton's mayor, said the city has a "special relationship" with the armed forces, "as do I with my son serving in the British Army".
