This Morning the Ancre Somme Association Charity were honoured to host the AA Veterans Support Veterans Breakfast in Brownlow House, Lurgan.

As well as the breakfast, various organisations took the opportunity to highlight the services they currently have available to our veteran's, and their families.

It was also a great honour to welcome the Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner, Danny Kinahan, to Brownlow House.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made this event possible. We also hope that those in attendance found the information helpful.

A special thanks must also go to Tom, and the other volunteers, from the AA Veterans Support Charity.
