Emergency Services Day marked with flag-raising ceremony at Northampton Guildhall

The event was held to mark Emergency Services Day and recognise the dedication of people who work and volunteer across the emergency services.

Those attending also took time to remember emergency services personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

West Northamptonshire Council marked the occasion by raising the Emergency Services Day flag outside the historic Guildhall.

The council said the ceremony provided an opportunity to recognise those who serve their communities and thank emergency services personnel, both past and present, for their work.

Emergency Services Day, also known as 999 Day, celebrates the work of those serving across the police, fire, ambulance and other emergency services.
