Air Cadets attend Birmingham City Centre remembrance paraded

Cadets being inspected by WO Lodge before travelling to the City Centre.A flight of 20 cadets from 487 Sqn Kingstanding and Perry Barr, paraded in Birmingham City Centre on 11 th November to remember all those who have died in war and recent conflicts.

The cadets were also joined by the OC 487 Sqn, Flt Lt O'neill, Flt Lt Westacott, Plt Off Jennings, WO Lodge and Sgt Cotton.

The cadets joined up with two other sqn's from our wing to form a large contingent of ATC Cadets, the flight was led by Flt Lt Munford, ex OC of 487 Sqn.

The remembrance parade is one of the largest in the Midlands with large contingents of all three regular services attending.

At 1100 a volley of shots rang out and the whole parade fell silent for two minutes.

Cdt FS Gemma Walden laid a wreath on behalf of the ATC, and Flt Lt Westacott laid the wreath on behalf of the Warwickshire and Birmingham Wing.

The parade was watched by thousands of people from around the Midlands on what turned out to be a cold, bright Sunday morning.

This was a great turn out by the cadets, particularly because this had been a busy weekend of events.
