EPPING FOREST WILL BE CELEBRATING ARMED FORCED DAY

Epping Forest District Council will proudly show its support for our Armed Forces by flying the Armed Forces Day Flag throughout next week.

At 10.15am on Monday 21st June, the Chairman of Council, Councillor Anne Grigg, will meet with Council staff and local dignitaries outside the Civic Offices for a short service which will be followed by the raising of the flag at 10:30am. The Armed Forces Day flag will fly alongside the Union Jack flag outside the Council offices until Monday 28 June 2010.

As part of this event the Chairman of Council will be supporting the 'Help for Heroes' fund. To help raise funds for this very worthy charity, members of staff will be passing through the offices with a variety of items for purchase and to collect donations.

Armed Forces Day is on Saturday 26th June 2010. This annual celebration gives the nation the opportunity to show our support for the remarkable men and women who make up our Armed Forces community, from current serving troops to service families, veterans and cadets.
