This week is Armed Forces Week and events will be taking place all over the UK to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community (Royal Navy, British Army & Royal Air Force) and risk their lives to protect us.
The Vale of Glamorgan Council awarded freedom of the County Borough to the ship's company of HMS Cambria and as an early celebration on Saturday 18th June the ships company marched through Barry town and were led by the Band of HM Royal Marines, Plymouth. There was an impressive ceremony at King's Square in Barry and then they marched through Barry town centre to the Civic Offices where we watched the Armed Forces Day flag being raised whilst celebrating local residents and veterans who have and are part of the Armed Forces community.
Armed Forces Day will take place on Saturday 25th June but you can get involved by showing your support and #SaluteOurForces for all they do! Find our more information here.
