This morning, the Lord Lieutenant of Bristol, Mrs Peaches Golding OBE, joined members of the City of Bristol and the Armed Forces in a flag-raising ceremony at Bristol City Hall.

She was supported by Cadet Warrant Officer Charlotte Moss of 2152 (Downend) Detached Flight, part of Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing Air Training Corps. She is currently serving as the RAF Air Cadets’ Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet for the City and County of Bristol.

Cadet Warrant Officer Moss formally raised the ensign in Bristol to mark the occasion and then supported the Lord Lieutenant on an Inspection of the parade assembled in front of City Hall.
