A flag will also fly on the Highland Council’s Headquarters at Glenurquhart Road.
Councillor Glynis Campbell Sinclair, Provost of Inverness and Area, said that the ceremony would provide an opportunity to show appreciation for the work of Service personnel.
The week culminates next Saturday, the 28th June, with an Armed Forces Day Parade led by the Inverness Royal British Legion Scotland Band.
The parade will start from the Eastgate Centre and move to Inverness Cathedral, for a Drumhead service supported by the Inverness Military Wives Choir.
Plans to close a section of the A862 between Dingwall and Ardullie, for three months, is under review.
Scottish Water applied for the closure as part of works to upgrade a water main and a thirteen mile diversion, via the A853 to Tore roundabout then the A9 over the Cromarty Bridge, was proposed.
At a meeting of stakeholders hosted by Kiltearn Community Council, local residents, landowners and businesses expressed concern that the proposal was unworkable.
A motion to request that any works are postponed until the Spring - to allow more detailed assessment of alternative routes – was approved unanimously.
Signage giving advance notice of the closure will be removed.
