Cadets and Juniors from the Unit were lucky enough to be asked to support the recent Freedom Parade in Monmouth.  HMS MONMOUTH exercised her right of Freedom of the Town allowing them to parade with Swords drawn and Bayonets fixed.

The parade, consisting of the Royal Marine Band, Guard and Colour Party together with several divisions of the Ships company marched through the town past the Shirehall and finished at the Castle where they were inspected by the various VIP's including the local MP, David Daves.

Two staff and four cadets were invited to attend the Rededication service of HMS Monmouth at Devonport Naval Base, Plymouth.

Due to the early start accommodation was found in the Junior Rates Mess of HMS Drake.  The cadets arrived at 0830 and were met by Lieutenant Craig McBriety and were shown around before being briefed on their role for the day by the Ships Executive Officer.  The cadets were detailed to be the Piping party and were to Pipe aboard all the VIP's.

Once everyone had arrived everyone was able to take their seats to watch the service.  Following  a short ceremonial service and cake cutting everyone was able to enjoy the refreshments provided.  The cadets were also able to secure a short tour of the Ship.
