Hungerford Arcade “Armed Forces Day”

Hungerford Arcade is very proud to get involved with our military on Armed Forces Day.  As you will see from the pictures, everyone was happy and smiling, celebrating our wonderful service men and women.

 

Union flags adorned the High Street to mark this year’s Armed Forces Day in Hungerford. Hundreds of people turned out to watch the service men and women of The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers march through Hungerford as part of the celebrations at the end of the month.  The band were incredible – so perfectly in time and in tune and just sounding great.  There wasn’t a foot out of place in the marching formation as they turned “Eyes LEFT!” to salute the superior officers and veterans standing on the dias.  I’m not an emotional person but it was really quite a powerful few minutes.
