Today is Armed Forces Day

On Monday, Adrian attended the flag raising ceremony for the Armed forces Day flag which has flown outside the council offices all week.

Adrian said: "Monday was a glorious sunny day as is today, 27th June. Yet on Monday we learned of the 300th death of British service personnel in Adfghanistan. It can seem so remote to us enjoying a lovely English summer. That's why I support Armed Forces Day so strongly. It provides that opportunity for a collective display of gratitude for our Armed Forces, past and present."
