NO flag was flying from Tavistock's town hall last week in honour of the Queen Mother's 100th birthday — due to technical difficulties.
The mayor of Tavistock Cllr Judith Williams said several people had contacted the town council, assuming an oversight.
Cllr Williams said: 'We apologise no flag was flying on that day — we didn't ignore it, we just can't get it up at the moment due to technical difficulties.'
The mayor said loyal greetings were sent to the Queen Mother on behalf of the town at the council meeting last Tuesday.
