Crediton Town Council to fly flag for Armed Forces Day

by Alan Quick

A FLAG-raising ceremony in support of Armed Forces Day will be held at the Council offices, Market Street, Crediton, on Monday, June 19, at 10.30am, in association with the Crediton branch of the Royal British Legion.

Armed Forces Day will take place on Saturday, June 24 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.

Crediton Town Council flies the Armed Forces flag for the duration of the week leading up to Armed Forces Day, from the Council offices, by kind permission of Mid Devon District Council.

The Mayor of Crediton, Cllr Frank Letch, said he always enjoys meeting the veterans, and others, who attend the flag-raising ceremony outside the Council offices and that it was comforting to know that the council supported those who had served or are serving.
