The Mayor of Great Aycliffe, Councillor Carl Robinson and accompanied by the Mayoress Mrs. Carol Robinson, attended the War Memorial outside St. Clare’s Church on Monday 19th June to raise a flag on behalf of the Town to mark the beginning of Armed Forces Week.
The blessing was given by Father Tony Cornforth.
Many members of the public attended to mark this annual occasion which is an opportunity for local communities to be able to show their appreciation to the men and women of the Armed Forces from serving personnel to service families and recruits and veterans.
