  On a brilliant sunny day the flag that has adorned the town hall for the past week was ceremonially pulled down to the sound of the Dover Sea Cadets buglers.
  
  In a moving ceremony the flag was presented to Dick Liggit one of Dover's veterans who has presided over Remembrance Sunday, the St George's Day celebrations and other similar events for many years.
  
  In attendance were the Town Mayor of Dover Cllr Sue Jones and the Chairman of Dover District Council Cllr Bernard Butcher.

  Well done with that report Terry. Appreciate seeing that. All n all this Arm Forces week got great coverage on here, the best coverage if we can say so with all humility, lets hope people in high places, or ie the ones been photographed, are appreciating the coverage. We still need to get more invitations to help us cover the events that matter. Im sure the newspapers get the invitations but they dont seem to turn up for that many anymore.
