A COUNCIL will mark Reserves Day and Armed Forces Day this week.
Welsh and English Armed Forces Day flags will be flown at County Hall in Ruthin from June 23 to June 28.
Armed Forces Day, which takes place on June 26, commemorates the men and women who make up the Armed Forces, community including currently serving troops, service families, veterans and cadets.
Reserves Day celebrates their contribution to the Armed Forces and takes place on June 23.
In a joint statement, Alan James, chair of Denbighshire County Council and Richard Mainon, the council’s Armed Forces champion, said: “Armed Forces Day is a national celebration for people in Denbighshire and across the country to show their appreciation for the contribution made by all those who serve in Her Majesty's Armed Forces.
“We are showing our support from the county for those Armed Forces members past and present who have risked their lives to protect us by flying these flags at County Hall.
“We are pleased we are also honouring the vital contribution reservists make to our Armed Forces.”
