The Mayor of Brentwood Mark Reed was joined by local war veterans, cadets, members of serving regiments as well as councillors and residents to celebrate Armed Forces Day Flag Raising Ceremony today.
The annual event, which took place outside the Town Hall, was in support of the men and women of the Armed Forces past and present, including currently serving troops, service families, reservists, veterans and cadets.
Speaking after the event, the Mayor of Brentwood, Councillor Mark Reed, said: "We were proud to fly the flag to symbolise the contribution and sacrifice the Armed Forces have made and continue to make to defend our country.
It was a privilege to take part in the event and to say thank you to all of our Armed Forces and veterans for all they have given and do."
