Liverpool’s Assistant Mayor, Councillor Wendy Simon, said: “We are delighted to be hosting this year’s national Armed Forces Day as it gives us the chance to recognise the role of the Armed Forces and thank all those men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country.

“Here in Liverpool we aren’t strangers to hosting high profile, large-scale outdoor events and it’s important never to underestimate the value of being culturally ambitious. Hosting the likes of Armed Forces Day will bring more people into the city, which in turn boosts the local economy as money is spent in areas such as retail, leisure and tourist attractions. And then of course there is the pride and feel-good factor felt by people who live and work in the city – it is a coup for their home city to stage an event of this calibre and the positive response this generates is priceless.”
