Veterans to attend Armed Forces Day event at RAF Museum Cosford
Hundreds of veterans will be taking part in an event at RAF Museum Cosford today to mark Armed Forces Day.
Across the country events are being held to celebrate the contributions made by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces. The annual day is an opportunity to reflect and pay tribute to our heroes past and present, including current serving personnel, service families, veterans and cadets.
Those attending the RAF Museum Cosford event will be treated to a full day’s programme including: guided tours around the Museum’s Conservation Centre, a musical performance from the Beaumaris Singers and the opportunity to dine with other guests amongst the aircraft and artefacts in the Museum’s Hangar 1. The event will conclude with a spectacular flypast from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Dakota scheduled for 2.50pm.
Event organiser, Nina Mitchell says:
“All-in-all this promises to be an exciting day which will enable Veterans to meet up with old friends, reminisce over shared experiences, and enjoy themselves in the authentic atmosphere and setting of the Royal Air Force Museum. With former Service Men and Women joining in from across Shropshire and the West Midlands, Armed Forces Day is set to be a truly memorable and sentimental gathering for Veterans and their guests to enjoy.”
The event is fully booked.
