A historical US flag stolen from the grounds of a school built on the site of a former American naval base has been returned after it was recovered from a bonfire in Londonderry.
The flag was taken from Foyle College on the city's Limavady Road in early July.
On Monday, independent Derry City and Strabane District councillor Gary Donnelly said he believed the flag had been removed from the bonfire.
Foyle College confirmed on Tuesday that the flag had now been handed back to the school.
The school thanked those involved in securing the safe return of the flag.

And what about this ?
Gary Donnelly said he believed the flag had been removed from the bonfire.
So they're not sure if it's "the" Flag or not OR if it was burned up after all ?
For the curios.
“Foyle College confirmed on Tuesday that the flag had now been handed back to the school.”
“The flag was gifted to the school by members of the former US naval communications station.
It was last officially flown at the base in November 1963 to mark President Kennedy’s death and more than half a century later in 2019 was presented to Foyle College which had moved to the site the year before.”
The weaponized, far-left CIA is so busy chasing Americans it can’t even protect a historical U.S. Flag from being stolen by our enemies.
You’re an idiot
Right you are.
Do you know what a bonfire is?
Just guessing, but I suspect the CIA doesn’t have a station chief at Foyle College.
