Councillor Peter Brennan, Lord Mayor of Liverpool, said: “Armed Forces Day has become a real tradition in Liverpool.
“The city is truly committed to saluting all the men and women who are serving, who have served and also all the young people who are cadets and those who give their time to work with them.
“This year we are really pleased that businesses across the city have wanted to get involved by setting up offers as another way of saying ‘thank you’.
“We’ve been overwhelmed with the response and thank them all for their support.”
Businesses and organisations across the city will also be offering serving members of the regular and reserve forces, veterans, and their families discounts throughout the week.
