A FLAG was raised to commemorate Armed Forces Day on Saturday.
Wokingham Borough Council marked the day by paying respect to servicemen and women, past and present.
Raising the flag is an annual, national event celebrated on the last Saturday in June.
It is observed by local authorities, government departments, businesses and Number 10 to show support and pay respect to the nation’s Armed Forces.
It was scaled back for the second year due to the pandemic.
In attendance were borough mayor, Cllr Keith Baker, deputy mayor Cllr Abdul Loyes, and armed forces veteran and Conservative councillor for Wokingham Without, Angus Ross.
Cllr Baker said: “We are proud to fly the flag as a mark of respect to UK Armed Forces servicemen and women, and former service personnel.
“We thank you for the outstanding service and dedication in protecting and defending our country and its interests. On behalf of Wokingham Borough Council, we salute you.”
