The Conservative Party has today joined organisations and communities from across the UK in raising the flag in support of our Armed Forces.
It marks the beginning of a week of events in celebration of the men and women of our Armed Forces, and culminating in Armed Forces Day on 27th June.
Party Chairman, Eric Pickles, who raised the flag this morning at Conservative Party HQ commented, "It is a great opportunity to show our respect and gratitude for the dedicated service of our Armed Forces. Their courage and professionalism is an example to us all."

Eric is the MP for Brentwood & Ongar and Chairman of the Conservative Party.
