Remembrance Parade

On Sunday 8th of November 2009 members of the District took part in the Royal British Legion's remembrance parade.

Thank you to everyone who took part, especially those young people who turned up despite their Group not being there. I counted roughly 60 uniformed people but I know there were also many families and friends present.

Make sure you put your badge on your left wrist and wear it with pride.

As always I received an number of complements to pass on to everyone on parade. The organisers and public always seem pleased to see young people there with all the flags, it always makes a big impact.
