Members of the Armed Services – past and present – were recognised at a special flag-raising ceremony outside County Hall, Haverfordwest, earlier this week (Monday, June 21).
In a short ceremony – scaled down because of the Covid-19 pandemic – the Armed Forces Flag was raised outside the headquarters of Pembrokeshire County Council.
The flag will fly throughout this week to mark Armed Forces Day which will be celebrated on Saturday, June 26.
Pembrokeshire County Council Chairman, Clr. Mike James, said: “Armed Forces Day provides an opportunity for the nation to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community.
“We have a long and proud history of links to our Armed Forces in Pembrokeshire. Since the inauguration of Armed Forces Day in 2009, we at Pembrokeshire County Council have shown our wholehearted support for them by flying a special flag designed for Armed Forces Day.”
Clr. James warmly welcomed three pupils of Haverfordwest High VC School, whose father serves with the Armed Forces, and invited them to raise the flag.
