Armed Forces Day takes place on the last Saturday of June. It is a chance to show support for the men and women who make up the UK's military units. The PM was joined at RAF Valley by Wales' First Minister Eluned Morgan MS and Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens MP. Today on Armed Forces Day there will be events to support serving personnel, service families, veterans and cadets. They will take place across the country with a national event in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire.

More details of the legal duty will be set out in due course but could include initiatives such as extending travel benefits to the families of veterans and the bereaved, or flexible working for partners of serving personnel who are required to move as part for their role in the Armed Forces. The Government says this delivers on a manifesto promise and is part of the Government's commitment to renew the nation's contract with those who serve and following the Strategic Defence Review, which underscored the role the Armed Forces play in protecting our national security, which it says is the foundation of the Government's Plan for Change. (Image: Paul Currie/) The Government says it is committed to renewing its contract with the Armed Forces community, delivering two above inflation pay awards for service personnel and an extra £1.5bn investment this parliament to improve forces' family housing through the Strategic Defence Review. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: 'Across the country and around the world, our service personnel and their families make the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe and protect our freedom and our way of life. 'When I became Prime Minister, I made a promise to serve those who have served us. Through the new Armed Forces Covenant, we are delivering on that promise - ensuring our service personnel, veterans and their families are treated with the respect they deserve - that is our duty."

Cadbury shrinks size of iconic treat and parents fume over lunchbox
Despite the packets getting smaller, the price of the treat has definitely not been downsized Cadbury has shrunk the size of its one of it's most famous chocolate bars. Fudge multipacks have been shrunk with the chocolate giant blaming the cost of ingredients continues to bite. Parents have been left fuming - the packs previously contained 5 bars, not it will be 4, with one saying 'so we won't have enough for each day of the week in the lunchbox'. Despite the packets getting smaller, the price of the chocolatey treat has definitely not been downsized. At Morrisons, the five-bar packs still exist, with both sizes costing £1. Tesco is charging £1.40 for the smaller pack - or £1 with a Clubcard, while Asda has priced them at 98p. One shopper fumed in a scathing review on the Tesco website: 'Apparently these are no longer meant to go in kids lunchboxes any more because there are 5 days in the school week, not 4.' They added: 'The price hasn't changed though .' A second customer asked: 'When will it stop? Not a happy customer! Same goes for fudge bars.' And another said: 'Same price, fewer bars. Not good.' A spokesperson for Mondelez International, Cadbury's parent company, told Sky Money the decision had been made due to the 'difficult' economic environment. 'We understand the economic pressures that consumers continue to face and any changes to our product sizes is a last resort for our business,' they said. 'However, as a food producer, we are continuing to experience significantly higher input costs across our supply chain, with ingredients such as cocoa and dairy, which are widely used in our products, costing far more than they have done previously.' 'Meanwhile, other costs, like energy and transport, also remain high. This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges.'
