Sheffield set to pay respects to country's bravest individuals with Armed Forces and Veterans Day parade
The event will take place in city centre later today
A parade celebrating those who put their life on the line to defend the UK will come through the city centre today.
Sheffield's Armed Forces and Veterans Day is set to give people in Sheffield a chance to honour the contributions of people who have served their country.
Starting at 11.30am, the parade will form on Norfolk Row, before heading down Fargate at 11.55am.
Speeches are set to take place after this, followed by a live band and other activities throughout the afternoon.
On the council’s Welcome to Sheffield website, they write: “Sheffield's Armed Forces and Veterans Day honours the outstanding contribution made by current members of the armed forces and by veterans of all ages.
“The day is an opportunity for everyone, young and old to join together to pay tribute to our armed forces past, present and future.”
