Mayor raises flag to mark Armed Forces Week

Reflecting on the start of Armed Forces Week, the Mayor of Oldham said: “It is a great honour to raise the Armed Forces Flag and to show our support for the men and women who make up our armed forces, including those currently serving, our veterans and cadets.

“Let’s not forget, our freedom exists today because of the sacrifice they made for our present and I am truly thankful for all they have done for us.

“I am also honoured to accept this shield from The Liaison of Ex-service Men Welfare Fund.

“They have worked tremendously over many years to support our local armed forces personnel, veterans and their families, and long may their great work continue in our borough.”
