Today, not only as a regiment, but as a nation we come together to remember and honour those who have laid down their lives to protect our way of life. Their legacy lives on in those who serve today. #remeberanceday #poppy #parade #lestweforget #Remembrance

Our cadets and adult volunteers were exceptional paying their respects today. We provided a presence in Westbury, Bratton and Salisbury commemorating those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. #lestweforget2024
