This weekend will mark National Veterans Day, with various activities going on around the country over the weekend. Which will celebrate the contribution of HM Forces veterans have made in both world wars and in modern times?

            

The biggest event will be held in Blackpool. But I will be attending the one in Southend and even have my veterans badge now. The 3 day event in Southend kicks off on Friday afternoon with the Mayor opening the celebration with an afternoon of music and memories.
