My first official Remembrance parade at
Gainsborough branch of the Royal British
Legion as a standard-bearer. I was taking over
the reins from the current standard-bearer and
the first outing of the new standard to celebrate
100 years of Gainsborough branch.

Remembrance Day
2021 by Paul Parr
We started out with the traditional church parade and it
was a fantastic moment to be marching in as the
new standard.
In the church we were joined by the air cadets and the
army cadets standards and presenting it to the priest
for laying upon the altar for the duration of the service.
Once the service was complete, I was able to parade
the standard out of the church and across to the
Gainsborough war memorial for the act of remembrance.
I stood to attention for the whole service in front of 100
plus people who turned out to pay their respects. I was
honoured to be able to take on the role and pay my
respects to those who did not return, we will
remember them.
