Once again St Albans Sea Cadets were proud to provided the armed sentry/guard at the war memorial in St Peters St as St Albans came to a standstill during the Remembrance Day Service (8^th November).

This year the honour fell to two 16 year old’s - Leading Cadet George Threadgold  and Leading Cadet Jake Hughes under the direction Chief Petty Officer Ray Gosling (SCC).

As with tradition, throughout the service, the cadets remained heads bowed and rifles upturned, barrels resting on their toes.

Leading Cadet Threadgold, said: "It’s a great honour and privilege to be chosen to act as the guard on such a day"

Leading Cadet Hughes echoed these sentiments adding: ”Its right we commemorate those who have fallen for their country "

Following the service, the parade departed, marching through St Peters St. with Sea Cadets (aged 10 – 17) & staff from St Albans Sea Cadets forming part of the parade to the applause of the hundreds of people who had turned up in remembrance of those who had given all for their country.

Lt Cdr Dave Nice, Commanding Officer of St Albans Sea Cadets said:

“As ever the cadets & staff on parade were a credit to the Sea Cadet Corps”
