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.
