The Saturdays, James Cracknell, Gary Neville, Helen Skelton, Barney Harwood and Jessie Ware are just some who have voiced their support for Sea Cadets with birthday messages as it celebrates its 156th anniversary on June 25 2012.
Sea Cadets helped HM The Queen celebrate her Diamond Jubilee earlier this month with a 55 strong flotilla in the Thames Pageant and beacons being lit across the country, and now it’s their turn to celebrate.
We’ve been inspiring and challenging young people through nautical adventure for 156 years and we are thrilled that so many stars have wished us Happy Birthday. Sea Cadets across the country will be baking a specially designed Gala cake recipe courtesy of Fiona Cairns in celebration and stars will be tweeting congratulations throughout the day.
Said Helen Skelton “I love a challenge from time to time but you guys face them daily with pride, passion and perseverance. What a great organisation. Big birthday wishes to you all!”
