Leicestershire County and Leicester City Councils, in partnership with the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Mike Kapur OBE, and local armed forces units, are supporting the national Armed Forces Day #SaluteOurForces campaign.

People are being asked to take a picture of themselves saluting and share it by Friday, by tweeting the Lord Lieutenant using the handle @LeicsLieutenant and the hashtag #SaluteOurForces or emailing them to [email protected]
