We played a few static marches before we march the standard bearers out to their positions adjacent to the war memorial on the main road in front of The Keep.
We then return to the car park ready to march the main parade out at 11:40 am through the main archway to the War Memorial. There then follows a short service after which the parade marches back and falls out to the Drill Hall for the normal “refreshments” associated with these gatherings.

The Adjutant, British Grenadiers
We played around “stands” after the parade
