Cleethorpes hosts national armed forces event
The National Armed Forces Event was held this year in Cleethorpes, and the Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire attended along with the Minister of Defence, the Rt Hon John Healey MP, and other dignitaries.
Held over the weekend of Armed Forces Day from 27-29 June 2025, this was the largest, free event on the east coast celebrating the men and women of the armed forces – past and present.
Dame Andrea Jenkyns, Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, said:
“Cleethorpes has hosted an Armed Forces Day event for the last decade, but I was very proud that this year’s was the designated national event.
“There were thousands of people at the event paying tribute and giving thanks to our heroic armed forces. A big well done to the organisers and it was a great honour to be at the event.”
