Hailsham Cadets Joins in with the Lord Mayors Show

Our very own Cdt Alex Seviour took part in the Lord Mayors Show in London, to celebrate 800 years of the London tradition. The Parade first took place in 1215 in which the Lord Mayor was presented to the Sovereign for approval. The procession's traditional journey from the City to Westminster has over the years grown in size and the event now includes a full parade and show, in which officials, workers and Londoners of all ages and all walks of life come together to celebrate London’s heritage. Cdt Alex Seviour from 249 (Hailsham) Squadron Air Training Corps was part of the Cadet Forces Masses Band. “It was a great honour to be able to take part of this fantastic event, and it was a very proud moment for me” said Alex. The parade took place despite torrential downpours, but there was a great atomsfear amongst the crowds.
