BRENTWOOD residents are being urged to show their appreciation of the Armed Forces at a celebration outside the Town Hall.
Residents are invited to the Flag Raising ceremony on Monday at 10.45am, which is being held as part of Armed Forces Day.
This is a national campaign which gives everyone the opportunity to show their support for the men and women of the Armed Forces past and present, including currently serving troops, Service families, Reservists, veterans and cadets.
Ahead of the ceremony, The Mayor of Brentwood, Councillor Mark Reed, said: “It really is a privilege to be involved in events such as these that give us all a chance to show our support for our Armed Forces for all that they do.
“Please join myself and local veterans as we unite as a community to give our thanks for all that they have given and continue to do to keep us all safe”.
The UK Armed Forces defend the country and its interests. Every day of the year they are busy working around the world, promoting peace, delivering aid, tackling drug smugglers and providing security and fighting terrorism.
