We fly flags from our flag pole on the farm bordering the A268, to celebrate memorial days, Royal events, and National holidays.

My husband flew the Ukrainian Flag with pride to support the many brave men and women fighting for democracy and their countrymen.

There are many more sympathetic hearts and minds to combat a single act of vandalism.
