From war veterans to young cadets, hundreds of servicemen and women took part in an armed forces parade through the city centre earlier today.
With pipers from the Seaforth Highlanders leading the way, the procession made its way down from the top of High Street to the Clock Tower following a service at Leicester Cathedral.
The march was cheered on by hundreds of people who lined the streets to show their appreciation.
Among them was veteran Bob Gill, of Oadby, who served in Korea for 12 months, from 1950 to 1951.
"Days like this are important because I feel that people should remember the people who served as well as the brave people who are serving now," he said. "This is a way of commemorating."
