That would be the British Forces Broadcasting Service Big Salute. 100% of the money they are raising goes to five different forces charities - British Limbless Ex-Serviceman's Association, Combat Stress, Headley Court, St. Dunstan's, and Veterans' Aid - check out the above website to get the links.

Several U.K. celebrities have come forward to help support the troops. Sir Michael Caine, Ewan McGregor, Al Murray, James Blunt and the Osbournes are all on board to help.
Sir Michael found fame following his performance as an upper-class British army officer in the 1964 film Zulu. The much-loved film charts the battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Zulus.
Sir Michael is donating two signed Zulu film posters to the auction.
Sir Michael said:
"My thoughts and best wishes are always with them because I used to be, and always will be, one of them."
Very, very cool.
And see, I knew I liked that Ewan for a reason!
Thanks to Rogue Gunner for the Michael Caine link.
And Princes William and Harry are very supportive.
My grandson starts training this month. Fingers crossed.

The Princes have been amazing these past few years. It's a real credit to them that they understand and support the armed services! It makes me very proud.
Good luck and lots of blessings for your grandson & your family! You'll definitely have to keep us updated :o)
