<p>Armed Forces Day events provide opportunities for the nation to show their support
of the Armed Forces. These events are community-led and can come in many different
forms, from the national event through to local events organised by councils, ex-service
organisations, community groups and schools. These events can be followed on Twitter
using #SaluteOurForces.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not directly support
specific Armed Forces events; other than the national event which will be held this
year in Cleethorpes, in North East Lincolnshire, on Saturday 25 June. We do invite
local authorities and community organisations to consider hosting an event and to
apply for funding from the Ministry of Defence.</p><p>Part-funding applications have
been received for the Northern Ireland Regional Armed Forces Day event, which is scheduled
to take place in Antrim on 18 June. Events will also be hosted in Articlave, Portglenone
and Belfast on 25 June.</p><p>As events are registered by their organisers, they will
be published on the Armed Forces Day website: www.armedforcesday.org.uk</p>
