Across the Corps, ships supported their local towns and services in an act of remembrance for those who had fallen and served to protect us.
This year, I joined TS Nautilus and TS Zealous at the main cenotaph at the Steine in Brighton.Thankfully, the weather was more than kind and as the crowds assembled behind the barriers surrounding the area, we could hear the beating of drums as the assembled parade formed up to show its support.
Following the service. lead by the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex the NTC proudly placed wreaths in a sea of poppies at the foot of the cenotaph.
- They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
- Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
- At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
- We will remember them.
