Armed Forces Day: How are people celebrating during lockdown?

Saturday 27 June marks Armed Forces Day - a day in which the UK celebrates the people who make up the Royal Army, Navy and Air force.

Every year, communities come together to honour serving troops and people who used to serve in the forces - known as veterans.

However, this year things are looking a little different because of the coronavirus outbreak.

How is Armed Forces Day being celebrated in 2020?

Before coronavirus, there had been plans to celebrate the Armed Forces in a national event taking place in Scarborough, Yorkshire.

However, this has had to be cancelled for the safety of the public.

Instead, the Armed Forces are encouraging people to share positive stories about the Armed Forces and what they mean to you.
