Mid Sussex – To The Tower

by | Feb 3, 2025 | News

The Mid Sussex Branch were guests at the Tower of London on a glorious Sunday morning last year. The Branch marched in, led by their Standard, from Traitors Gate to the chapel for an 11 o’clock service. Chairman David Allaway gave the salute with tourist clapping as the ‘boys’ entered the Chapel. A very moving moment, with the veterans receiving the attention from the crowd they so richly deserve. The choir added to a very moving service, and we were fortunate enough to be invited into the Keys afterwards for a drink and an informative talk from our host beefeater.
