May I report an excellent parade at the Cenotaph in St Helier?
Dry and sunny. All the uniformed organisations on parade, from the Royal Militia of the Island of Jersey (RE)(TA) to the 3 Cadet organisations, Police, Lifeboats, St John Ambulance, Scouts, etc. The Band of The Island of Jersey provided the essential musical accompaniment. And of course the Old and Bold, augmented by 4 Chelsea Pensioners who deployed to assist in Poppy selling.
Fine March-Past for the Lt Governor and The Bailiff, culminating in a "Ride Past" by the Jersey Bikers. The latter then conducted their own wreath-laying (many of course ex-Military) and their own Poppy donation of £700, as they charge their members to take part today. Never judge a book by the cover!!
