Commonwealth Flag
Trowbridge Town Council is raising the Commonwealth Flag for the first time at the Civic Centre on March 9 at 10am.
A specially written Commonwealth Affirmation will be read out at the ceremony by the mayor Glyn Bridges.
The town will join 38 Commonwealth countries, with 650 Commonwealth Flags raised.
His Excellency Kamalesh Sharma, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, said: “Flying a flag for the Commonwealth is a most imaginative way for people in local communities, wherever they live, learn or work, to join others throughout the Commonwealth in a spirit of respect and understanding to celebrate the variety of unmatched diversity of our global family.”
