The Kings have presided over the central acts of the Armed Forces Day this Saturday, which "timidly" have again taken to the streets to get closer to citizens despite the health restrictions marked by the coronavirus pandemic. Don Felipe and Queen Letizia have presided over an act of tribute to the fallen held in the Plaza de la Lealtad in Madrid, where half a thousand citizens have approached to applaud the Armed Forces, accompanied by flags of Spain and among constant 'cheers 'to the monarch. Armed Forces Day, conceived as an act of brotherhood between the militia and civil society, is usually celebrated in different Spanish cities with a large military parade. However, last year the Covid-19 forced the cancellation of the acts planned in Huesca and the onomastics was limited to a videoconference that the King held with the troops from the Retamares base. In this edition, events have not been held outside Madrid nor has a large parade been organized to avoid crowds, although a step forward has been taken with the tribute to the fallen in the center of the capital, as explained this week by the Head of Defense Staff (JEMAD), Admiral Teodoro López Calderón.
