The South Gloucestershire Armed Forces Day event took place in Page Park this year.
The event on June 21, attended by about 2,000 people, marked two milestones: the centenary of Staple Hill & District Royal British Legion and the 85th anniversary of the branch’s Women’s Section.
To mark the occasion a new standard for the branch was dedicated at a drumhead service in the park, which followed a parade through the High Street and Broad Street by Army, Air and Sea Cadets, veterans, serving personnel and reservists.
All three of South Gloucestershire’s MPs attended the event, along with leaders from councils, emergency service representatives and a host of charities, community and veterans’ groups.
