Celebrating the Work of Service Personnel

Forces Recruitment Services (West Midlands) have teamed up with Dudley Council for this year’s forthcoming Armed Forces Day event, which will be held at the prestigious Himley Hall and Park on Sunday 26th June to celebrate the work of servicemen and women. 

The event will run from 11am to 5pm and will include a presentation of Veterans Badges to the Armed Forces Veterans; this will be done by the Mayor of Dudley and a very special VIP Guest.  The day will also include a band concert, a youth marching band competition, a display of historic military vehicles.  There will be a very special performance by the D-Day Darlings and the spectacular Beating of the Retreat will close the event.  There will also be special activities to commemorate the centenary of the start of World War One.

Paul Lewis, Regional Director for Forces Recruitment Services (West Midlands) said, “Being Ex-Forces myself, it’s not just a pleasure but a privilege to be part of this day, which the whole of the country will come together to celebrate our servicemen and women.  Being able to sponsor this event gives me great pleasure and pride."
