RAISE THE FLAG FOR ARMED FORCES DAY
Monday 24th June 2024 in the Grounds of Oakham Castle

 

A flag raising ceremony to mark the start of the week leading up to Armed Forces Day is taking place in the grounds of Oakham Castle on Monday 24th June. This year the flag will be raised by personnel from 1 Royal Anglian Regiment based at Kendrew Barracks.

This annual event in the Rutland calendar follows the success of the first ever national Armed Forces Day in 2009. Traditionally the Armed Forces Flag is raised on Government buildings and landmarks at 10.30am at the start of the week leading up to Armed Forces Day itself, which this year is the 29th June.

Those attending should arrive at Oakham Castle by 10.10am as the brief ceremony will start promptly at 10.20am.

There is no need to confirm attendance; this event is open for all members of the community to attend.

Parking will not be permitted in the Castle Grounds.

The Ridlington community was saddened to hear of the passing of Bart Hellyer who has lived in Rutland for the past 40 years at Rowells Lodge. Bart became a paraplegic during his university years and used a wheelchair thereafter. In spite of his disability he lived a full and active life, dedicating much of his time to the local community; he served as the High Sheriff of Rutland from 2012 to 2013, gaining valuable insights into county life and since 2013, held the prestigious position of Deputy Lieutenant for Rutland.

Bart participated in most of our village events, including attending the late Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee celebration street party and the King’s Coronation last year on May 7th 2023 – he can be seen on the photograph now hanging in the Village Hall.

In Ridlington, we shall all remember Bart with affection, admiration and respect – a remarkable man in honour of whom Oakham Town Council is flying the flag at half-mast.

A private family funeral service and burial in St Mary Magdalene and St. Andrews Church, Ridlington will take place on Friday, May 3rd at 11:00.

A Memorial Service will be held in Uppingham Parish Church on Monday, May 20th at 14:00 followed by refreshments at The Falcon in Uppingham.
