The Town Council raised the Red Ensign Flag on the Old Court House to mark Merchant Navy Day. The Town Mayor, Councillor Gareth Williams, was joined by Deputy Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, Judith Swann, Bingham Town Councillors, members of the Royal British Legion (Bingham Branch) and residents. The flag was raised in recognition of the contribution that our merchant ships and crews have given our country in two world wars and the years following.
