Flying the flag to support our Armed Forces
Specially-designed flags will be raised at the Vale
Council’s Civic Offices on Monday, 22 June in celebration of the
first Armed Forces Day.
The Vale will join other councils,
organisations and individuals across the country in raising the
flags, which are based on the Union Jack, to honour of the men and
women who make up the Armed Forces community - from currently
serving troops to service families, veterans and recruits.

flag.
The flags will be flying on Monday to coincide with ceremonies
across the country, and will remain flying until Armed Forces Day
on Saturday, 27 June.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Gordon Kemp, said: "We are proud to
be flying these special flags in honour of the Armed Forces. They
are a clear way of offering our appreciation to the wonderful work
they continue to do across the world."
