ARMED Forces supporters have set up stalls in Witney this morning for Armed Forces Day.

Alongside the Royal British Legion are military charity Help for Heroes and Brize Norton Military Wives Choir.

RBL community fundraiser for Oxfordshire Mark Garwood, of Carterton, said: "Today is all about celebrating what our armed forces do for this country and remembering those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

"We must remember those who gave their lives."

Celebrations in Witney are due to go on until 5pm.

The event starts at Pingle Field at 1pm once the procession has made its way through the town.
