TRAFALGAR DAY PARADE 2017

TRAFALGAR DAY PARADE 2017

Sea Cadets will take part in a spectacular show of formal parading in Central London to mark Trafalgar Day this weekend.

Four-hundred cadets from across the country will take part in the event on Sunday, alongside Sea Cadets volunteers.

Trafalgar Day is a chance to showcase skills and talents to spectators and tourists, as well as high-profile guests. For more than 100 years, Sea Cadets units up and down the country have marked the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar with parades, usually on the Sunday closest to 21 October. On that date in 1805, Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson defeated the French and Spanish fleets of Cape Trafalgar in South West Spain, losing his life at the height of his most famous victory.
