Welcoming our Armed Forces community to Filbert Way late last month, we recognised service and sacrifice with both veterans and serving personnel coming together inside The Gallery.

Beginning with a presentation by Carl Pickering from the Royal British Legion, an organisation that needs little introduction, those in attendance heard more about their work supporting serving personnel, veterans and their families throughout the year.

The morning continued with a Q&A with Ian ‘Dilksy’ Dilkes, as he discussed serving in the British Army and working as a military interrogator, before becoming a firefighter and appearing on television.

A fascinating insight into his experiences, he also shared memories of watching the Foxes over the years, as a Leicester City fan who grew up in the city.

Former captain and League Cup Matt Elliott popped in, too, much to the delight of the attendees, who were regaled by stories and fond memories from his time at the Club.

After a group photograph together, Elliott presented the group with complimentary tickets to that afternoon’s match, on a day which included Armed Forces and Royal British Legion displays.

There was time to reflect and honour the Armed Forces community, remembering those who have lost their lives in service and recognising the sacrifices made by serving personnel, veterans and their families.
