The Edinburgh Veterans Day was the original name for what has now become the military army forces memorial day, an annual event that takes in the United Kingdom which is celebrated in June to commemorate the veterans of men and women in the British Military forces armed. Despite the first event having taken place in 2006, the day of the event is not a public holiday within the UK. Each year, a major City hosts the main bulk of the events with Blackpool being chosen in 2008. It was in 2009 that the event took it's most recent title, the Armed Forces Day.

This video was filmed at the 2008 Edinburgh Veterans Parade about veterans day by members of the Edinburgh Cine and Video Society to show what is veterans day about. We were positioned at various points down the Royal Mile to cover the Scotland event. Unknown to us until the day of filming, the Jazz Parade at one stage of the parade was joint back to back with the Military Forces Veterans which confused some of the operators. You can see the Golden Eagles Marching Team in the video.

The parade about the army veteran's day started at the bottom of the Royal Mile in Holyrood Park next to the Scottish Parliament. The Pipers Trail band led the parade up the historic Royal Mile and into Princes Street Gardens where an afternoon of entertainment took place. A lovely performance by the Royal Regiment of Scotland took place in the western edge of the gardens near the giant fountain. For those who are not familiar with the band, the Royal Regiment of Scotland, they are made up from the now combined Lowland and Highland Scottish Division who of course were already a combination of many other regiments before that.

Other cities joining Cardiff in hosting events were Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Plymouth, Nottingham, Bristol and Manchester. The events in Cardiff included; a drumhead service in Roald Dahl Plass, flyovers by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Red Arrows and Helicopter formation. There were displays including the Royal Marine Commando Display Team and the Royal Marine Band. There was a Sea King rescue display on the water, an opportunity for the public to come aboard the dock of HMS Kent not to mention a firework display and an evening of stage performances featuring the Soldiers and Only Men Aloud.
