Eighteen members of the Association took part in the Royal British Legion Service and Parade at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London this year led by the Association President, Brig (Retd) P E O’R-B Davidson-Houston CBE DL.
Trevor Jones, who served in the Royal Berkshire Regiment during 1956 – 58, sadly had to withdraw this year due to deteriorating mobility. He is the last Royal Berkshire soldier to have joined the parade. He did so for many years accompanied by his comrade of nearly 70 years, Peter Legg. Peter had to give up attending the Cenotaph last year in order to look after his wife. We missed them both.
The Association bids for 30 places each year so our numbers were down this year. It is always an uplifting and memorable day. A number of our members take the opportunity also to attend The Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey and to make an extended visit to London. The RBL Cenotaph Parade is a great opportunity to take part in a revered national event so, if you would like to attend in 2025, do let the Association Secretary, Maj (Retd) Steven Bowkett, know by email at <thesecretary@rgbw-association.org.uk>.
