Flying the flag for our Armed Forces

High Peak Mayor, Councillor Matthew Stone, is inviting people to join him at this year's 'Fly a Flag for our Armed Forces' events taking place in Buxton and Glossop on Monday 19 June.

The first event takes place in Buxton at 9:55 am (for 10:00 am start) by the flag pole next to the Band Stand in the Pavilion Gardens and the second in Glossop at 11:55 am (for 12 noon start) by the flag pole in Norfolk Square. 

The events will consist of a short flag raising ceremony and the Mayor will say a few words.

The events give everyone the opportunity to show their support for the men and women of the Armed Forces past and present, including currently serving troops, service families, reservists, veterans and cadets providing a much-valued morale boost for Armed Forces personnel and their families.
