Flying the flag for our Armed Forces

Organisations across the country have started this year’s Armed Forces Day celebrations by saluting the work and dedication of our Armed Forces with the AFD flag.

The flag has been raised across the heart of Whitehall, with the Ministry of Defence, the Scotland Office and Portcullis House all showing their support.
