North Tyneside military veterans are invited to attend a special event to mark Armed Forces Day.
A flag will be raised at the event, which will take place at the Army Reserve Centre in Heaton, Newcastle, on Saturday 24 June.
A ceremony will follow, which will feature the presentation of badges to ex-service personnel.
Anyone who has served in the armed forces, including the volunteer and regular reserves, is entitled to apply for the badge.
Veterans must live in North Tyneside and those who have previously been presented with a lapel badge can not apply again.
The service, organised by North Tyneside Council with the support of North Tyneside War Veterans Committee, is part of a programme of events arranged for national Armed Forces Day.
Those eligible should contact North Tyneside Council who will send applications to the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency on their behalf. If successful, they will be invited to the presentation ceremony to receive their badge.
Veterans can contact the events team at North Tyneside Council by calling 0191 643 7409 or emailing events@northtyneside.gov.uk.
The deadline for applications is Friday 26 May 2017.
