Rememberance Day 2017

12/11/2017

 
On Sunday 12 November the Squadron attended the Remembrance Service at Dalgety Parish Church. Cadet Connie Blair laid a wreath at the Parish War Memorial on behalf of the RAF Air Cadets.

This year saw our cadets take an active part in the service with CWO Greenall, Cpl Horne, Cdt Blair and Cdt Peoples each delivering a reading about war heroes with a personal or local connection.

“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.”
