From soldiers returning home, to war games in Oman, this stunning picture set showcases the inspirational year had by the Armed Forces.
One incredible shot illustrates the HMS Protector sailing through the Antarctic on a routine patrol, while another shows the Red Arrows racing through the sky above the Mall as part of the RAF's centenary celebrations.
Another remarkable image depicts a female member of the Royal Navy rehearsing ceremonial drills at HMS Excellent, Whale Island, near Portsmouth.
She was preparing for the National Day of Remembrance Ceremony, which was held a few days later on November 11 at the Cenotaph in London.
And showing the Commonwealth out in force, one photograph shows British, Australian, and New Zealand, along with American, German, and Danish, soldiers celebrating the Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The group watched the wedding live in Afghanistan with tea and scones and a large Union Flag cake; before retiring for a menu of traditional British dinner options.
With the year coming to a close, we take a look back at some of the most memorable images, captured by service and Ministry of Defence civilian photographers...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
