THE Mayor of Bury Cllr Sharon Briggs raised the Commonwealth Flag outside the town hall to mark Commonwealth Day.
It was one of 500 Commonwealth flags to be raised by local authorities and community groups throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and The Isle of Man.
A flag was also raised in Bolton and the final flag to be raised on Monday was by The Queen outside the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey.
