Armed Forces Week: What's happening in Rutland?
The annual flag raising will take place at Oakham Castle later
Across Rutland we're being encouraged to come together to show our support for current and former military personnel.
The County's annual Armed Forces Week flag raising event will take place today, and will be attended by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland and the High Sheriff.
They'll be joined by representatives from Rutland County Council, Oakham Town Council, Uppingham Town Council, the Royal British Legion and the RAF Association.
A short ceremony will also take place today on the grounds of Oakham Castle, from 10:15am, before the Armed Forces Flag is raised by the 1st Military Working Dogs Regiment, based at St George’s Barracks.
On Wednesday 21 June, the Veteran's Wellbeing Hub are welcoming local veterans with tea and cake at the council offices in Oakham, from 9am.
On Friday 23 June, Rutland County Council is hosting an event for children of Armed Forces personnel that will include a drama workshop and taiko drumming - to also bid goodbye to kids leaving the county this summer.
On Armed Forces Day itself (Saturday 24 June) there will be a special Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club at the usual location of the Grainstore Pub in Oakham, from 9am.
All Armed Forces members are welcome to join, and help themselves to a discounted breakfast.
