A very important date in our calendar last Sunday, as 33 years ago to the date - 10th May - the ship from which our Unit takes its name - HMS Sheffield (D80) sank after a missle attack, protecting the main fleet during the Falklands Conflict.
Our Sea, Royal Marine Cadets & Staff paraded and lined the way for members of the HMS Sheffield Association, Royal Naval Association, Submariners Association and many more Veterans for the Remembrance Parade of the 20 men killed.
TS Sheffield's Band Corps drum section played during the wreath laying ceremony outside Sheffield Cathedral, before all went in for the service and the 20 names read out to a strike of the Ship's Bell.
Thanks to all involved as the Lord Mayor, public & veterans were all complimenting your immaculate turn-out, you certainly did everyone and yourselves proud to honour those of the 'Shiny Sheff'!
