Remembrance Day 2014

Every year the squadron takes part in a small service and Worlingham Church in the morning then back to the squadron for lunch cooked by members of the Civilian Committee and then in the afternoon the parade through the center of Beccles to St Michael church and then on to the Royal British Legion. This year we added another location, CI Hannah Fryer represented the squadron by laying a wreath at the Loddon War Memorial. It was decided that as we have cadets coming to the squadron from the Loddon area it would be nice to pay our respects. It is hoped next year we may have a small number of cadets attending the service as well.

The morning service went well with CWO Roberts carrying the squadron standard and a small group of cadets from the squadron we joined by other cadets from Beccles at the service lead by Reverend Susie Ellis.

On returning to the squadron Civilian Committee members Val Fryer and Marie Dobson provided the cadets and staff who stayed for both parades a hot lunch of Jacket potato and chilli and biscuits. This is very much appreciated by the cadets and staff at the squadron. Thank you.

The afternoon parade went without a hitch as well and once again CWO Roberts carried the Squadron standard escorted by Cadet Corporal Roberts and Cadet Corporal R Thoppil. Cadet Flight Sergeant Willis Carried the RAFA standard and Cadet  Stokes laid the wreath at the war memorial.

On the 11th of November, Armistice Day, CWO Roberts attended a small ceremony in the centre of Beccles at 11 o'clock. 

If you got a copy of the Beccles and Bungay or the EDP you may have spotted the squadron in the section about Remembrance day and the local parades that took place.
