Stars from TV, film, theatre and music turned out in their hundreds to pay tribute to HM The Queen on Thursday 24 May. And Sea Cadets from five London units were invited to act as carpet bearers to welcome guests.

More than 800 people from David Hockney and Alan Bennett to Sir Paul McCartney and Tinie Tempah turned out at the Royal Academy for the celebration. Cadets had a chance to see some of the country’s biggest and most influential cultural icons as they lined the red carpet to welcome them.
This was a great opportunity for the charity to take centre stage and is an example of some of the amazing opportunities open to cadets as part of the Sea Cadet Corps.
