CREDITON Town Council today, Monday, June 21, showed its support for the Armed Forces at the beginning of Armed Forces Week.

Crediton Town Clerk, Rachel Avery, and the Town Council receptionist, Emily Armitage, raised the flag earlier today on the town flagpole next to the Crediton Town and Hamlets War Memorial off Union Road.

Armed Forces Day (this year on Saturday, June 26) is a day when the whole nation is invited to show support for our military community, both serving and retired, at home and abroad.
