Bucks businesses have been urged to help fund next year’s Armed Forces Day - which will mark the 10th year of the popular event.

An air display, live music and funfair are a few of the attractions set to take place at the new venue of Wycombe Air Park on Saturday, June 29 next year, and Bucks organisations have been urged to help.

Each year Bucks and Milton Keynes have joined forces to hold the celebration for families in the armed forces, as well as the wider community, to honour servicemen and women who have served in the military.

Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher, said the family friendly event cannot happen “without the support from our local business community”.

He said: “We are extremely grateful to both British European Aviation (BEA) and Wycombe District Council (WDC) for offering Wycombe Air Field as a provisional venue for Armed Forces Day 2019 as well as to our wider partners including the Royal British Legion and Buckinghamshire County Council.

"However, the reality that we face is, the event cannot happen without support from our local business community.

“We've been so lucky in the past to receive great support to help us put on the event and once again we are asking businesses and organisations to step up and demonstrate their willingness and commitment to supporting their local community."
