The flag will be raised at Lancaster Town Hall at 11am on Monday, June 22, and all are welcome to attend.

"Lancaster City Council is proud to fly the Armed Forces Flag, which recognises the Armed Forces dedication, courage, and the sacrifices they and their families make, while reaffirming the council’s ongoing commitment to supporting our armed forces community," said a spokesperson for Lancaster City Council.
"Armed Forces Day is an annual recognition and to thank the people who serve, or have served, in the UK Armed Forces - serving personnel, veterans, reservists, cadets and armed forces families.
"Our teams were also out this morning planting at Morecambe's cenotaph ahead of Armed Forces Day."

A three-day celebration of our Armed Forces and blue light services, centred around Morecambe Promenade, begins today.
