Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day enabled all of us to chow our support for the women and men who make up the Armed Forces community - from serving troops and their families to veterans and cadets.  It was observed across the UK.  Everyone was encouraged to raise a flag and salute the Armed Forces.  'The High Sheriff John Manley, Lord Mayor Jos Clark and I were joined by AB Honey of HMS FLYING FOX and piper Bob Smyth at City Hall, where we raised the Armed Forces Week flag,’ explains Peaches Golding OBE, Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol.  The City is particularly proud of the contributions to healthcare in the region by the Ship’s companies of HMS FLYING FOX AND HMS PRINCE OF WALES during the height of the Covid19 pandemic.  The former included medical staff working in intensive care and the latter included those administering tests of the public for the virus.
