On a recent visit to the Defence Military Rehabilitation Centre Headley Court, Gary took a moment to salute his support for our Servicemen and women and help us encourage others to do the same.

He signed the official football of the FA cup after spending the day learning about the brilliant work that the staff at Headley Court do to help injured personnel recover from injuries.

Gary met patients from across the Armed Forces who were working on their recovery, hearing about their stories and giving them an insight into his own career.

#SaluteOurForces  is a simple way for members of the public to show the Armed Forces they care by sending in an image or video of a salute – we want as many people as possible to get involved.

#SaluteOurForces is part of the annual Armed Forces Day campaign, and to celebrate Gary’s salute we’re offering the football he signed as a prize.
