The day started with marches from the Nottingham Castle to the Old Market Square where a Drumhead Ceremony took place with a fly over by the Red Arrows.

Throughout the city were events to commemorate and pay tribute to the British Armed Forces. Of these events was the displays and events on the Victoria Embankment where you could met and see all the branches of the armed forces.
