Take a Trip to London: Spectacular military displays mark Armed Forces Day in Woolwich June 26

The famous Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery and the awe-inspiring Royal Artillery Black Knights parachute display team are all set to thrill the crowds at Armed Forces Day on Saturday 26 June at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, South East London from 2 to 4pm.

Greenwich Council is inviting local people to come along to this free event to honour the men and women in the armed forces and local veterans.

The spectacular displays will kick off at 2.20 with the Royal Artillery Band followed by the hoisting of the Armed Forces Day flag. This will be shortly followed by a display from The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, a performance by the 97 Cadet band and an awe inspiring display by the Black Knights Parachute Team (weather permitting). The Army Rock Band will close the event at approx 4.00pm.

The Woolwich Barracks was home to the Royal Artillery until 2007. Taking their place are the 2nd Battalion The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, an infantry unit of about 600 military personnel. Next year they will be joined by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery - along with about 120 horses.

Built between 1776 and 1802, the Woolwich Barracks has been designated one of the MoD's "core sites” and will host the Olympic Shooting events and Paralympic Shooting and Archery events during the London 2012 Games.

The Royal Artillery Barracks is on Repository Road, Woolwich, London SE18 5DP

Over 100 veterans are expected to attend and will be welcomed by Cllr Chris Roberts, Leader of Greenwich Council, The Mayor and Col Gannon.

The King’s Troop performs at state occasions and transported Princess Diana’s casket on a gun carriage from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey for her funeral in 1997

The event will run alongside Greenwich Council’s Great Get Together which runs from 11am – 4pm. The day provides residents with an opportunity to join in the Armed Forces Day celebrations as well as enjoying a free family fun day and the opportunity to discuss services with the Council.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
