Remembrance Parade

 

Here's the Henllys Pipes and Drums warming up for the Remembrance Sunday parade.  It was lovely to see the young pipers taking part.

This was very much a young people's parade - also marching were the Beavers, Scouts and Explorers, each with their standard bearers, as well as the Army Cadets and the Sea Cadets.  

Also present was the Mayor with several town councillors, and the Fire Brigade.  Then there were veterans, and the relatives of veterans, wearing medals, and other older people who were attending the church service.

The parade set off through the town at 2.30pm precisely towards St Mary's, led by the pipe band playing The Scottish Soldier as their first tune, and after  the service there was a wreath laying ceremony at the cenotaph, followed by an invitation to the British Legion Club.
