Armed Forces' Day meets the Torch

Yesterday was one of the best days I can remember for a very long time as people crowded into the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA) to see Johnson Beharry carry the flame to the Armed Forces' Memorial (AFM).

During the proceedings monies raised by those who take part in the Ride to the Wall (RTTW) event were presented to the NMA and as part of an extremely full day we held a service in the grounds to celebrate those who have served, continue to serve and those who have given their lives in the service of our nation (and the world as part of the many peace-keeping forces too).

Here's a couple of different photographs from those that will be found around the internet:
