The Armed Forces Day flag was raised outside Accrington Town Hall today.
Before it was raised, the Lord-Lieutenant, Mr Charles Hadcock DL, presented the Armed Forces Day flag to the Worshipful the Mayor, Councillor June Harrison.
Cllr Harrison said; “This is a time to mark Hyndburn’s support for past, present and future Armed Forces. It’s our chance to celebrate and thank our Armed Forces and show our support for all they do to protect us and keep the country safe.”
The flag-raising ceremony marks the beginning of Armed Forces Week.
