MEMBERS of the Ross branch of the Royal British Legion took part in a special flag-raising ceremony to mark Armed Forces Day at 10.15am on Monday, June 20th.

Councillor Phil Cutter and the Reverend Nick Adley joined Branch and County Chairman Graham Aplin and the Town Clerk Sarah Robson for the short ceremony.

The aim of Armed Forces Day is to raise public awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who serve, and have served, in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, and give everyone an opportunity to show their support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community - from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets.
