Flags raised to mark Merchant Navy Day;
Thursday 3 September 2015
THE Red Ensign was raised at the civic centre in Newport to mark Merchant Navy Day, in one of a series of ceremonies held across Britain.
The city council was among more than 400 local authorities across Britain to be invited to fly the flag, which represents Merchant Navy, as part of a nationwide call from the Merchant Navy Association and the charity Seafarers UK to raise awareness of its past and ongoing role.
