Armed Forces and Veterans Day in Sheffield

Sheffield today paid tribute to our Armed Forces past, present and future with a parade through town which took the salute from the Lord Mayor Denise Fox and a short ceremony in the Peace Gardens.

 

The parade this year particularly commemorated the appraoching 100th anniversary of the battle of the Somme which commenced on 1st July 2016 and which claimed the lives of so many 'Sheffield Pals'.
