Her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of County Antrim, Mr David McCorkell, today raised the flag to mark the start of Armed Forces Week 2020, in Carrickfergus. 

The event was organised by Mid & East Antrim Borough Council. Attendees also included the First Minister of Northern Ireland, the Mayor of Mid & East Antrim Borough Council and representatives from RFCA NI and the Armed Forces. Due to COVID19 restrictions, the event had to go ahead on a smaller scale than planned and strict social distancing was adhered to.
