Armed Forces Day (June 28) is an annual opportunity for the nation to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community, from currently serving troops to service families, veterans and cadets. Born on March 28, 1938, John served in the Scots Guards for nine years, a career that saw him take part in some of the most distinguished duties at home and abroad. His first official posting was the iconic Trooping the Colour, a proud moment in his early service. He later spent three years stationed in Nairobi, Kenya, where he welcomed the birth of his first son.
