Battle of Trafalgar Anniversary Parade
Hundreds of Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets attended Horse Guards Parade on Sunday 20th October to take part in marking the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.
Merchant Taylors’ pupils L/Cpl Callum Davidson (Yr 11) and L/Cpl Lucy Taylor (Yr 10) were selected as part of the Royal Marine Cadet National Guard. Following a parade inspection by the Commandant General Royal Marine Maj Gen Matt Holmes CBE DSO, Sea Cadets Captain Phil Russell RN and the Mayor of Westminster a wreath laying ceremony was performed. L/Cpl Taylor had the privilege of being part of the wreath laying party on behalf of the Royal Marine Cadets.
The cadets then marched on The Mall towards Buckingham Palace where L/Cpl Davidson’s Guard led the parade. Callum and Lucy said “We were extremely honoured to take part in such an important parade and the last two days of rehearsals had been really hard work but well worth it.”
The annual event marks the Battle of Trafalgar; a naval engagement fought by the Royal Navy against the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies in 1805.
Well done to both Callum and Lucy!
