All adults and cadets in attendance appreciated the opportunity to sit and reflect upon the good service the Monarch has done in his previous position as the Prince of Wales and look forward to seeing his continuing support of different faiths, supporting communities and promoting peace among the nations as he takes rule as King of England.
"I am proud of the D Company cadets for attending such a prestigious event they area a true and honest reflection of good citizens supporting their community and King"
