2015 marks the 750th anniversary of the Montfort Parliament, where elected representatives of the shires and boroughs came together for the first time.
To mark this important year, the 2015 Flag Project invited Primary school students (ages 7-11) across the UK to design a flag to represent their constituency.
Well done to Tristan, Lochlan, Lisa and Milli from Year 5 who designed our winning entry. They chose the war memorial as they felt it was the centre of Albert Village. The colours were to represent nature; the National Forest lake, sun and also for remembrance.
You can see our entry in the special online exhibition by selecting NW Leicestershire using the following link:

A selection of these flags will also be sewn and flown at special events during the spring and summer of 2015. Fingers crossed for our design!
