Stories of service, a veterans' parade and a flag-raising ceremony will bring the community together for Armed Forces Day 2026.
This Sunday, 28th June, residents from across Enfield are invited to come together to honour, remember and celebrate the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in the Armed Forces community. Whether you have a personal connection to the military, would like to support local veterans, or simply want to be part of an important community event, everyone is warmly welcome to attend. This year's Armed Forces Day celebrations combine a special community exhibition in Enfield Town with the borough's official Armed Forces Day parade and flag-raising ceremony.
