Ards and North Down council has received complaints for failing to play the national anthem at some of its Queen’s jubilee events.
At this week's meeting of the council’s Corporate Services Committee, DUP Alderman Stephen McIlveen asked the council’s Chief Executive Stephen Reid to clarify the council’s position on its jubilee celebrations.
The Alderman told the chamber he heard “quite a few complaints” about the national anthem not having been played at a Newtownards jubilee beacon event funded and run by the local authority.
