There will be an Armed Forces Flag Raising Ceremony at County Hall, Dorchester, on Monday 19 June at 10am.
The annual ceremony is an opportunity to honour service men and women, past and present and show our respect and celebrate all that the forces do to defend the nation at home and abroad.
In attendance will be Mr Angus Campbell, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset; Cllr Val Pothecary, Chairman, Dorset Council; and Cllr Spencer Flower, Leader, Dorset Council. They will be joined by other dignitaries and members of the Armed Forces and Royal Naval Association.
We are privileged to have strong and deep connections with the Armed Forces in Dorset, with serving personnel, veterans and their families making up an important part of our community.
Many towns and villages in Dorset rely on servicemen and women, both economically and socially whilst serving, and when they retire into our communities.
The Armed Forces Community, veterans and residents are invited to join the ceremony and mark their respect.
Dorset Council has signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant which shows our commitment to armed forces past and present, and their families, in Dorset.
