Melton Fly the Flag for Armed Forces Day

The Mayor, Councillor Tejpal, will be hosting Fly the Flag for Armed Forces Day at Parkside on Monday 19 June 2017.

The event is attended by representatives of the Defence Animal Centre , the Royal British Legion, and the Royal Airforce Association. Members of the public are also invited to join.

After a short ceremony during which the flag will be blessed by the Reverend Kevin Ashby, the flag will be raised at 11am.

The Armed Forces Fly the Flag Day is an opportunity to join the nation to reflect on the crucial role played by our Armed Forces in both ceremonial and operational duties and to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community.
