#SaluteOurForces is a simple way for anyone to pay tribute to the British Armed Forces community for their hard work, dedication and efforts to and keep us safe in the UK and across the globe. Last year, celebrities, members of the public and businesses all got involved – check out our best salutes in our Facebook album here.
To join in, simply send us a photo or video of yourself or your friends and colleagues saluting!
You can submit your images in several ways:
- Tweet @ArmedForcesDay using #SaluteOurForces.

We may use your photo on our website or social media channels. See our terms and conditions to find out more.
