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
