Tesco stores will also be holding collections for Help for Heroes.

Rhys Little, Chair of the Armed Forces Network at Tesco, said: “We’ve got a long history of getting behind those who have been in the forces...We also do our best to give anyone leaving the army, navy or RAF a chance to forge a new career.”

Mayor of MK, Cllr Amanda Marlow was joined by the council’s Armed Forces Champion, Cllr Paul Trendall as well as Countess Howe, Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire to perform the ceremony.
