After the inspection the Band and Corps of Drums played for a short while before the parade marched off to the church. Along the route the Band and Corps of Drums provided musical accompaniment. <\/p>\n
A Company were led by their Commanding Officer Major Richard Lenton and the Hedon Detachment standard carried by Detachment Commander Sergeant Instructor Cassie North.<\/p>\n
The Cadets are able to march through the town with drums beating and colours flying as a result of the award of Freedom of Hedon to The Cadet Force in 1960. The County Force exercises this right in a freedom parade every year and supports events in the town regularly.<\/p>\n
