Uniform protocol for funerals
Chaps,
Please excuse my ignorance, but as a part time pusser and full time civil servant(yes I know, scum of the earth), I have a question on funerals and won't be able to ask unit in time.
A close relative with life long ties to the military has recently died, and as a mark of respect those active service personnel attending the funeral will be asked to go in uniform (1's) where possible. I have never been to a funeral since I was 7 and certainly not in uniform so I have 2 questions which I would be grateful if they could be answered.
1. Is it appropriate to wear ones sword to funeral given that the individual bought it for me, took a great deal of pride in it and would probably be pleased to 'see' me wear it. I know it may not be rig, but I recall seeing Charles wearing his at grannies funeral.
2. Does one wear caps on or off in church for funeral services?
Sorry for dumb questions, but helpful advice would be appreciated at this very difficult time.
