Armed Forces Week, Flag Raising, Oakham, Rutland, Photographs




This morning Rutland County Council raised the Armed Forces Day
flag outside Rutland County Library here in Oakham.

The event is political, also an opportunity for a few to thank current
serving forces.

This year saw a better turn out, numbers boosted by the attendance
of pupils from Catmose College
