  11. Campaign launched for Armed Forces Day event in Nottinghampublished at 14:05 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    A Nottingham man has started a campaign to get an Armed Forces Day event held in the city this weekend.

    Eight years ago, a large regional event was held at the Victoria Embankment and since then, a smaller, annual event has been held in Wollaton Hall.

    But Andy Shaw feels there should be a city event to pay tribute to army veterans.

    He said: "A soldier shouldn't have a figure put on his life, a soldier when he signs up, signs a blank cheque and says I am willing to die for you."

    Nottingham City Council has previously funded and organised the event - which marks the contribution and sacrifices made by Britain's armed forces.

    But this year the authority did not commit to organising an event. Instead, they invited local groups to come forward and organise an event in exchange for a free venue and funding.

    Armed Forces Day

    Larger regional events will take place in Newark and Derby and the city council said it hoped to be the host city again in the future.

    Smaller events are also taking places in Mansfield and West Bridgford.

    Quote Message

    Once again I am shocked and saddened to wake to news of another attack on the streets of London, this time on Muslims leaving prayers after breaking their Ramadan fast. All those caught up in this are in our thoughts and prayers. Any act of terrorism, no matter who the perpetrator, aims to drive divisions through our society. I urge you therefore to stand together to condemn all such acts of violence and to continue to work for a stronger and more united community, here in Leicester and beyond.”
