Armed Forces Day 2025

Armed Forces Day Parade - Saturday 28 June 2025

Watch the impressive parade of serving military personnel, veteran associations, reservist, cadet and youth organisations accompanied by local pipe bands march through the city centre.

The parade is a celebration of the history and proud record of our armed forces and allows the people of Aberdeen to show their respect for the role the armed forces play within our society.

If you are connected to the armed forces (serving personnel, veteran, cadet, or reservist) and would like to be involved in the city’s Armed Forces Day parade, please contact the City Events team at: cityevents@aberdeencity.gov.uk

 

Event details

The parade will start at Albyn Place at 11am and go along Union Street, Union Terrace, Schoolhill, Upperkirkgate and Broad Street. The Lord Provost of Aberdeen Dr David Cameron will take the salute outside in front of the City’s official flagpole on Broad Street.

The parade is expected to take approximately 30 minutes and will end at the Castlegate.
