A CHARD girl guide will be flying the flag for the town this weekend after being selected to take part in the national Trooping of the Colour ceremony in London.

Stacey Parsons of 2nd Chard Company, was chosen to represent West Somerset and took part in the annual event with girls and officers from all over the country.

Stacey has been a member of the troop for ten years and regularly helps with the younger members of the group.
