One of the highlights of Edinburgh Armed Forces Day is always the incredible performances from our outstanding military bands. #ArmedForcesDay @lowland_band @band_scots

A really useful Armed Forces Covenant Conference in Portsmouth, with many interesting speakers including the Minister for Veterans and People Calvin Bailey MP, Armed Forces Commissioner Polly Miller Perkins CBE, FiMT, the MOD Valour team and Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner David Johnstone. A great opportunity to share good practice, hear about local implementation and experience, and consider the opportunities and challenges across the UK. A huge thanks to the conference organisers. #AFCovenantConference2026 #ArmedForcesCovenantConference2026 #ArmedForcesCovenant

On #ReservesDay we honour the UK’s Reserve Forces. They play an integral role in protecting our nation’s security, serving with dedication alongside their civilian careers. We thank them for all they do. #SaluteOurForces #ArmedForcesDay #ArmedForcesCommunity
