My husband and I enjoyed the service at the cenotaph in Blackpool but feel it would have been better to have had the veterans march past after the service,rather than at 5pm which meant people were hanging about all day,and in the rain.

Other countries celebrate their heroes in a similar way, but they have a public holiday and there is much more recognition - why can't we? Most people I have worked with today had never heard of veterans day until I told them it was today! At least if it was a bank holiday people might pay a bit more attention!

National Veterans’ Day celebrations in Preston
Veterans will march across the Flag Market to the cenotaph at 10.30am on Friday 27 June, where they will be greeted by the Mayor of Preston, Councillor John Swindells. A short service will be led by Father Timothy Lipscomb at 11am, followed by a reception at the Town Hall. The service, which will include music from the Band of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, will commemorate all veterans, but also remember those who have given their lives on active service. Around 120 veterans are expected to attend Preston’s parade and ceremony, which will include the presentation of the Veteran’s Badge to 83-year-old Jack Hughes of Walton-le-dale.
