Supermarket giant Tesco is giving away free breakfasts at hundreds of its stores this Sunday. For the fourth year running, Armed Forces personnel and veterans will be able to claim their free breakfast in more than 300 stores to mark Armed Forces Day.

Tesco has confirmed that as a thank you for their service, approximately 180,000 serving Armed Forces personnel and nearly two million veterans in the UK can choose from The Breakfast, The Veggie Breakfast, The Vegan Breakfast or Sausage Bap to enjoy for free when they present their MOD90 or Veterans ID card at either The Café or The Coffee Shop in stores across the country on Sunday, June 29.

The day itself is an annual event celebrated in late June to commemorate the service of men and women in the British Armed Forces.  Originally called Veterans’ Day, it was first observed in 2006. Although an official event, it is not a public holiday in the UK. The name was changed to Armed Forces Day in 2009.
