B) Armed Forces Flag Day

It is proposed that the City of London Corporation hosts a flag raising ceremony followed by light refreshments at Guildhall on the afternoon of Wednesday 24 June 2015 to mark the seventh annual Armed Forces Flag Day.

This event responds to an established national initiative and will provide an opportunity for the City to show its support for the Armed Forces and to raise awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who are currently serving, as well as veterans. Guests will include serving and retired personnel, cadets, City residents who are veterans, Masters and Clerks of Livery Companies, city workers, school children from the City’s schools, and members of the general public.

We recommend that appropriate hospitality therefore be granted and that arrangements are made under the auspices of the Hospitality Working Party; the cost to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved cost parameters.

This would be a Full Court event.
