Walsall Arboretum was transformed into a hive of activity as crowds enjoyed a day of sun, parades and performances at this year's Armed Forces Day 2026.
The event not only gave visitors a chance to celebrate our current and ex-armed forces personnel, but also to learn more about the inner workings of the British Armed Forces.
The day started with a fantastic parade, attended by hundreds of members of different regiments, before transitioning into a day of events, educational talks, music, and no end of demonstrations.
The event took place on Sunday and saw hundreds of people turn up to celebrate our service men and women.
