The local community gathered at the Pump Rooms Gardens to celebrate Armed Forces Day in Leamington over the weekend.

The free annual event ran from 11am to 3pm on Saturday 28 June, and was a staple event in the District's calendar. 

It built on the success of previous years, with recognition of the Armed Forces and the contributions that allies have made in past conflicts, and continue to make and strengthen.
