999 Day is aimed at promoting efficiency and educating the public about using the services responsibly; it aims to promote emergency services charities; and to highlight the many different career and volunteer roles in the emergency services. 999 Day saw support from Her Majesty The Queen and Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and Duke of Cambridge. Celebrations began with 999 Day flags being raised across the UK at 0900 to mark the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month, followed by two minutes' silence to remember the more than 7,500 members of the emergency services killed in the line of duty.
