What is UK Armed Forces Day?

UK Armed Forces Day, held on the last Saturday of June, celebrates the entire British military community — serving personnel, reservists, veterans, cadets, and military families. It began in 2006 as Veterans' Day and was renamed and expanded in 2009 to honour the armed forces as an active part of national life. Through parades, family events, and community open houses, the day helps bridge the gap that can form between military and civilian life.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
