National Armed Forces Day
Following the announcement that Chatham's Historic Dockyard has been chosen as the venue to hold the UK's first ever National Armed Forces Day on 27 June this year, Cllr Rodney Chambers, the leader of Medway Council, said:
“We are extremely proud that Chatham’s Historic Dockyard has been chosen as the place where the first national Armed Forces Day will be held on 27 June this year.
“Chatham and the Medway area have played a pivotal part in our nation’s military history for centuries.
“This link with Britain’s armed forces remains extremely strong with the Royal Engineers, which is based at Brompton barracks in Chatham, being given the Freedom of Medway last year.
“Chatham’s historic naval dockyard is a fitting place to celebrate and pay tribute to our armed services and all those British servicemen who have played a part in protecting our country.
“Medway Council worked closely with the South East England Development Agency in support of the Historic Dockyard's bid to hold Armed Forces Day and I am very pleased that this was successful.”
