At the beginning of May, cadets from City of London Unit provided a Carpet Guard at the annual Reflections of the Lord Mayor. The event celebrates the vital role of the Lord Mayor of the City of London, one of the oldest continuously elected civic offices in the world. This non-profit event supports charities nominated by each Lord Mayor during their time in office, with funds from the evening going to the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. This year, Sea Cadets were the chosen beneficiaries, receiving £3,125 from the appeal. Sea Cadets CEO, Martin Coles, gave a short speech at the event and expressed his gratitude for the donation and Lord Jeffrey Mountevans' continued support.
