Video: Inverness Highland Games and Armed Forces Parade
CROWDS lined the streets of the city centre to support 800 servicemen and women from throughout Scotland taking part in the annual Armed Forces Day Parade.
The parade, which included army veterans, Navy personnel, the Territorial Army and cadets from the Navy and RAF, marched through the city to the start of this year’s Inverness Highland Games at Northern Meeting Park.
Airmen from RAF Kinloss also joined the march, one of their last parades before the base closes.
Organised by the Royal British Legion Inverness Branch, it was led by First Mine Counter Measures Squadron, based in Faslane, under the command of commander David Bence, the former commanding officer of HMS Inverness and featured six pipe and drum bands.
Passing the Inverness Town House and going across the River Ness, the parade finally reached Northern Meeting Park, to rapturous applause on Saturday.
