Residents are reminded they can attend a special service to recognise the ‘outstanding humanitarian work’ carried out by the United Nations.
United Nations Day will be marked with a service on Thursday, October 24 at the Weymouth Town Council Offices on Commercial Road at 10.30am.
The Mayor of Weymouth Town Council Cllr Graham Winter will host the short service.
He said: “I am delighted to have this opportunity to represent the town council and host this proud civic event, recognising United Nations Day. It acknowledges the outstanding humanitarian work carried out by the United Nations throughout the world and recognises the excellent contribution the local Lions club makes to the local and global community.”
The service will include the raising of the United Nations flag followed by speeches from Cllr Winter and the President of the Weymouth and Portland Lions Club, Ryan Hope.
The mayor will be joined by representatives of local business groups, town councillors and members of the public.
