00:00So I'm here at Armed Forces Day with DUP leader Gavin Robbins.

00:04Gavin, what's been your opinion of the day?

00:06It's been a wonderful day so far. You can see the crowds all around.

00:10It's a superb location of Scrabble Tower behind us in Stranford Rock in front.

00:15And the crowds really are phenomenal today.

00:17I know some have had some difficulty in accessing the site, but the sun is out.

00:21Everyone's in great form, and the Fultons, when they arrived this morning, were sweet.

00:25So why was it you felt you should come here today to support the Armed Forces?

00:31I mean, what does Armed Forces Day mean to you?

00:34So I've been for a number of years now in Northern Ireland.

00:37I've had the pleasure of joining people who serve our country and do so proudly, but do so honourably,

00:41both here in Northern Ireland and right throughout the world on conflict zones and humanitarian disasters.

00:47And those who have served us in days gone by as well, it's important that we honour them.

00:51For eight years, I sat on the House of Commons Defence Select Committee.

00:55I was Northern Ireland's sole voice on that committee, standing up for our Armed Forces in our UK Parliament.

01:00And so I've always thought that it's an important day and a please do it again.
