Station Warrant Officer Phil Major, a parade participant and the individual responsible for the events drill and ceremonial training said, “It’s an honour to be taking part in the Armistice 100 Parade. As this year sees the 100th Anniversary of armistice, this will be a much larger event incorporating all three military services.”
