Rebecca joined colleagues from across the political spectrum at a service outside the House of Commons for the raising of the Armed Forces Day flag.

This year Armed Forces Day is took place on Saturday, 24th June.

There was an Armed Forces Day Parade organised by Canvey Island Town Council which marched into the Town Centre, along Furtherwick Road and then into King George V playing fields. In the park itself there was a military vehicle display, musical performances and a community picnic.
