THE COMMONWEALTH Flag has been proudly raised and flown by Malvern Hills District Council.
The flag was put up at the Council House yesterday (Monday) to celebrate Commonwealth Day.
The annual event is celebrated by people in more than 50 countries across the Commonwealth.
This year’s theme is ‘Forging a sustainable and peaceful common future’ and asks Commonwealth states to commit to supporting the promotion of peace, prosperity and sustainability – especially through climate action – to secure a better future for the lives of all Commonwealth citizens.
This year also marks the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Commonwealth Charter, which was signed by Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on March 11, 2013. The document sets out the values and aspirations that unite the union.
It is also the first Commonwealth Day presided over by His Majesty King Charles III as Head of the Commonwealth.
