The Princess Royal is among the dignitaries in Stirling, which is hosting the sixth annual Armed Forces Day National Event.

The procession, which also included pipe bands, headed through the Old Town to the Albert Halls, and onward to the events ground at the Royal Parklands, where a range of activities is taking place this afternoon.

These include a flypast of current and vintage aircraft, displays of tanks and other military vehicles and demonstrations by Sea King, Apache and Puma helicopters.
