This will be taking place on Monday 24th June 2024, outside of the Royal British Legion, Lichfield Street, Stourport-on-Severn. Guests are asked to arrive from 10.00am for the Flag Flying Ceremony to start at 10.15am.

Members and Standard Bearers wishing at attend are asked to congregate at 10.00am in the car park. At 10.15am Stourport-on-Severn’s Mayor will welcome those present, before prayers lead by Rev. Carey Saleh, with the Flag being raised at 10.30am.

Among those invited to the event will be local dignitaries and members of the local armed forces associations.

The Armed Forces Flag Flying Ceremony Day is an annual opportunity for everyone to show their support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community, from serving troops to service families and from veterans to cadets.
