Rutland County Council is flying the rainbow flag for inclusion and diversity at the Council offices throughout February to mark LGBT+ History Month.

The flag is a symbol of Rutland's commitment to its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens.

Council leader, Coun Oliver Hemsley, said "It is with great pride that Rutland County Council are flying the rainbow flag at the Council Offices, not only to support LGBT+ History Month, but also the celebrate the diverse community we have in Rutland."

The theme of this year's event, founded by Schools OUT UK in 2005, is 'Body, Mind, Spirit'.
