A flag raising ceremony recently took place at Farnham Town Hall to mark the start of Armed Forces Week and honour the nation’s servicemen and women.

The event was assisted by the Mayor of Farnham, Councillor George Murray, Jim Babbington and local students, writes Anna Carroll.

Local organisations including the Army Benevolent Fund, University for the Creative Arts and past Mayors showed their respect at the event.

Students from All Saints Tilford and other local schools helpfully assisted the ceremony showing their respects for the armed forces community.

The Mayor thanked everyone who attended and that paying tribute was a privilege.

The flag remained hoisted for the following week as a visible reminder of support for the Armed Forces.
