Thousands of Armed Forces personnel will be working across the globe this Christmas to help keep Britain safe, so people at home can enjoy the festive season.

The Armed Forces are on duty 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and Christmas is no exception. This year, around 6,400 sailors, marines, soldiers, airmen and airwomen will be deployed on operations. From Somalia and Ukraine to efforts to protect British people against threats here in the United Kingdom, the Armed Forces will be deployed across all corners of the globe taking part in 39 operations across 46 different countries.

We would like to wish all members of our Armed Services and their families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
