Hertsmere marks Armed Forces Day
 The Mayor of Hertsmere has shown support for the men and women who make up the armed forces community, as part of a special event to commemorate Armed Forces Day. Mayor Councillor John Graham led a small flag-raising event outside our Civic Offices today (Monday 20 June), ahead of Armed Forces Day on Saturday 25 June. He was joined by Mayoress Barbara Graham, Reverend Oliver Blease, bugler, Adrian Temple, Royal British Legion Representative, Brian Dee and other Hertsmere Borough councillors and staff for the occasion. Armed Forces Day aims to raise public awareness of the contribution made by those who serve or have served in the armed forces, as well as those who support them.
