The event inclined a high-speed on-water display, bringing eight Royal Marines across Plymouth Sound National Marine Park in their Commando Raiding Craft, and a climb and abseil of the Citadel walls, before raising the Armed Forces flag.
Plymouth Armed Forces Day is in association with Babcock, and takes place on Saturday 28 June 2025, on Plymouth Hoe.
