Rutland to Host Armed Forces Day Flag Raising Ceremony
Rutland will mark the start of Armed Forces Week with a flag raising ceremony on Monday, June 23, 2025, at 10:30 AM. The event will take place in the historic Grounds of Oakham Castle, LE15 6DR, and the public is warmly invited to attend.
This ceremony serves as a prelude to Armed Forces Day itself, which falls on June 28 this year. Hosting the event will be HM Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland, Dr. Sarah Furness, alongside the Chairman of Rutland County Council and the Armed Forces Champion.
Raising the Armed Forces Flag at government buildings and landmarks at 10:30 AM at the start of the week leading up to Armed Forces Day is an annual tradition. This practice has been observed since the inaugural national Armed Forces Day in 2009.
Attendees planning to join the ceremony are requested to arrive at Oakham Castle in good time to gather before the short ceremony begins promptly at 10:30 AM.
Please note that due to the outdoor nature of the event, parking will not be permitted within the Castle Grounds.
