This year the service commemorated the 60th anniversary of the end of the Regiment in 1966 and the birth of The Queen’s Regiment, The old Regiment became the 3rd Battalion (Royal Sussex) of The Queen’s Regiment on 1st January 1967. Attendance was again very good with 150 plus in the congregation.
The guests of Honour were the Lord Lt of West Sussex, The High Sheriff of West Sussex, the Deputy Mayor of Chichester and guests from organisations which support the Association. The service was led by The Reverend Canon Vanessa Baron.
After the service a reception was held at the Masonic Hall in South Pallant where one of the new ties for the Vice Presidents was presented to Brian Hudson BEM. Brian is one of our three Vice Presidents; the others will be presented at a later date. We hope for another good turnout next year.
