To mark ‘Merchant Navy Day’ the Mayor of Great Aycliffe, will be raising the Red Ensign Flag at St. Clare’s Church on Monday 3rd September 2018 at 11am.
Members of the public are welcome to attend and there will be refreshments available afterwards in the Church Hall.
Since 2000, Merchant Navy Day has honoured the brave men and women who kept our ‘island nation’ afloat during both World Wars, and celebrates our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers.
