Throwback photos show Armed Forces Day celebrations at Wollaton Park in 2009

Armed Forces Day, often celebrated in June, is a day centred around honouring the work of the British Armed Forces.

This year these events will occur across the county on the weekend of June 29 and 30.

The most notable is the Armed Forces Proms in the Park in West Bridgford on June 29.

Historically, major Armed Forces Day events have taken place at Nottingham’s Wollaton Park.

We dug through the archives and found many photos from a spectacular event in June 2009.

Photos show horseback displays, an RAF balloon, and people enjoying festivities in the shadow of stunning Wollaton Hall.
