A FLAG will fly on a village green, near Darlington, to celebrate the Queen's golden jubilee.
On Tuesday, members of Hurworth Parish Council voted to place a flagpole on the green during the four-day bank holiday this summer. The Union flag will be unfurled on Saturday, June 1, and provide a patriotic back- drop to a concert given by Hurworth Concert Band on the village green the following day.
Councillor Ian Black said: "I think that flying a flag on the green is an excellent idea, and for the band to play as well is just brilliant."
The pole, which will be erected by Harrison Brothers Steeplejacks, of Darlington, will be positioned in the same place as last year's Christmas tree.
