A special flag was raised at the County Council’s flagpole at Shire Hall in recognition of national Armed Forces Day.
The Chairman of Cambridgeshire County Council, accompanied by Captain Victor Lucas RN, Deputy Lieutenant for Cambridgeshire, led the County Council’s flag-raising ceremony on Monday 25 June.
Cllr John Powley was joined by schoolchildren and cadets for the ceremony outside Shire Hall.
Capt Lucas inspected the cadets from Kimbolton School, while children from nearby Mayfield Primary School were invited to watch the ceremony.
The flag-raising ceremony event was one of many being organised to take place simultaneously across the country at 10am on June 25. Armed Forces Day itself is on Saturday 30 June.
County Council Chairman John Powley said: “I am delighted at the way the whole country comes together to recognise the armed forces and the work they do. The flag-raising at Shire Hall combined ceremony, celebration and dignity, but more importantly contributes to a wider understanding of the armed forces and the crucial role they play in our national life.”
