It was an honour to lead part of the parade alongside the Royal Signals (Northern) Band today at Sunderland. The band have supported this parade for over 10 years now and it is always a privilege to be a part of one of the largest parades outside of London. A big thank you goes to Steady for joining us today. 

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
​We will remember them.
