The Royal Family Channel | Queen Honours Servicemen and Women on Armed Forces Day @royalchannel | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The Queen has paid tribute to servicemen and women calling them a “source of inspiration, reassurance and pride” in a video message marking Armed Forces Day.

Camilla praised the efforts of the military, in the face of “challenges and dangers” that not only safeguard the UK “but also defend liberties way beyond these shores”. The Queen's described herself as the “proud daughter of an Army officer” and wore her Royal Lancers brooch – her late father’s regiment and the military unit she serves as Colonel in Chief.

The message was recorded in Clarence House’s morning room that featured a picture of the Queen’s parents on their wedding day, January 2 1946, with her mother, then Rosalind Cubitt, posing with her father Major Bruce Shand outside St Paul’s Church in Knightsbridge, London.
