Armed Forces Day Ceremony

I was honoured to host a flag raising ceremony at Borough Hall yesterday to mark Armed Forces Day, which is approaching on Saturday. Armed Forces Day helps to raise public awareness of the contribution made by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and gives us an opportunity to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community, from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets. We are therefore always very keen to help mark the occasion, and conducted a flag raising ceremony outside Borough Hall, and the Armed Forces Day Union Flag will be flying here all week. There were a number of representatives of local armed services units and veterans' organisations in attendance, and the standard bearers were impeccable as always.
