On Saturday, 22nd June from 10 am, Visit Ely and the Ely Branch of the Royal British Legion bring you Armed Forces Day 2024!
From signing the Armed Forces Covenant back in 2021, the teams involved have meticulously planned and produced a fantastic day and are very proud that Ely is now part of the national celebrations.
There will be over 30 traders, many military vehicles, a short parade to include collective standards. We welcome the Mayor of Ely, Cllr Chris Phillips to open the day. The Blue Skies Band are coming to Ely and start playing from 10.30 am and the City of Ely Military Band will continue from the afternoon before the closing ceremony which will be 2.30 pm
We are hoping the community will join us to celebrate the day, browse the stalls, chat to the military vehicle owners, enjoy refreshments and more!
“We are delighted to be able to bring the city, the community and visitors, a day to remember as we celebrate Armed Forces, past present and future. This year, we have increased our trader space for supportive charities and organisations linked to the armed forces Please do join us as we give thanks to those that have served, currently serve or perhaps looking for a military career” Anna Bennett, Visit Ely.
