The Speaker of Hackney, Cllr Sade Etti, helped the borough mark Armed Forces Day on Saturday (27 June) by paying tribute to service men and women.
Cllr Etti joined the 165 men and women from units and cadets in the borough including 3 Military Intelligence Battalion (3MI), the Reserve Force Battalion which holds the Freedom of the Borough and cadets, veterans and voluntary organisations for the flag raising ceremony.
A magnificent parade formed up the moving ceremony, including an address from Colonel Morriss, with time to reflect on those who have and continue to serve in the armed forces. The ceremony was followed by a reception in the Town Hall.
“
It is important that we pay tribute to our armed forces and the contribution they make. I would particularly like to thank all of the current and former servicemen and women in Hackney for their valuable work.
The Speaker of Hackney, Cllr Sade Etti,
