The Mayor of Crediton, Cllr Frank Letch, raised the flag, assisted by Mayoress, Mrs Natalia Letch, his Cadet, Sammie Preece-Drake and Deputy Mayor, Cllr Joyce Harris.

Armed Forces Day will take place on Saturday, June 27 and is a day when the whole nation is invited to show support for our military community, both serving and retired, at home and abroad.

The Mayor of Crediton, Cllr Frank Letch, said it was “always a pleasure to meet with friends to record the efforts made by members of the Armed Forces, both at home and abroad.”

He continued: “In part, this year, members of the Armed Forces will have been seen helping to carry out Covid-19 testing, just one of the strings to their bow.”
