Armed Forces Day - Flag raising

“ On Friday June 29^th  the Mayor and a number of councillors from St. Neots Town Council together with staff and ex servicemen and standard bearers from the Royal Navy Association, British Legion and the Royal Airforce Association, held a short ceremony at the Priory Centre to commemorate Armed Forces Day and raise the Armed Forces Flag.

Because of various logistical reasons a larger ceremony could not be held this year, as it was last year but arrangements are already being discussed for a full event next year, possibly on the Riverside Park.  The Council is very conscious of the part the Armed Forces play in everyday life and of the hardships faced by those serving overseas and are determined to give them  the proper and overt recognition they deserve. “
