Fly the flag for Armed Forces Day
|
Bracknell Armed Forces Day on 27th June 2009 is the place to be to join the celebrations
The MOD is encouraging councils, businesses and homes across the country to show their support for our Armed Forces by flying a special flag celebrating Armed Forces Day. The Armed Forces Day Flag - available to the public from today - will be flown to mark the build up to the first ever national Armed Forces Day on Saturday 27 June 2009 - two months from today. This new event will take place every year to celebrate the UK's Armed Forces - past, present and future. Hundreds of Councils have already pledged to raise the Armed Forces Day Flag at 10.30am on Monday 22 June to officially commence a week of celebrations in honour of our Armed Forces and now businesses and homes will be able to join them in showing their backing for the Forces by raising and flying their flags at the same time on that day. The design of the Armed Forces Day flag is based on the Union Jack and it measures 5ft by 3ft. Flags cost £10, which includes postage and packaging to UK addresses, VAT and a £1 donation to the Forces Children's Trust, a charity devoted to helping dependent children that have lost a parent whilst serving with the Armed Forces. Those interested in ordering an Armed Forces Day Flag should visit www.piggotts.co.uk or email armedforcesdayflag@piggotts.co.uk.
