Ang mga lokal na tao at civic dignitaries mula sa buong Distrito ay nagtipon upang itaas ang isang espesyal na bandila para sa Araw ng Sandatahang Lakas sa mga tanggapan ng Konseho ng Bayan.
Ang Araw ng Armed Forces ay isang pagkakataon upang ipakita ang aming suporta para sa mga kalalakihan at kababaihan na bumubuo sa Armed Forces Community - kasalukuyang naglilingkod sa mga tropa, mga pamilya ng serbisyo, veterans and cadets and provide a much valued morale boost for our troops and their families.
The United Kingdom Armed Forces defend us and our interests. They are busy working around the world, promoting peace, delivering aid, tackling drug smugglers, providing security and fighting terrorism. Our troops are brave and dedicated men and women taking risks and making sacrifices so we can live safe and comfortable lives.
