Monday, October 4, 2010 at 9:07PM On June 24th and 25th we were invited once again to help the Regimental Band begin their Beating the Retreat ceremony, this year we had the added bonus of two visitors from the Canadian 41st Foot.
Again the event took place in the glorious evening sunshine, we were visited by many dignitaries who were invited to the ceremony.
Saturday 25th the 41st acted as Guard of Honour for the opening of "The Firing Line" the new Regimental museum. The museum was officially opened by HRH The Prince of Wales who chatted with our drummer prior to the ceremony.
After the official opening, HRH The Prince of Wales chatted with our camp follower Sheila, reviewed the guard, who were joined by Tom and Ray our Canadian colleagues and our longtime friend and champion, John Dart ex RSM of The Welsh.
