The Queen visits Exeter


The 150 year Anniversary of the Cadet movement in the South West was celebrated by over 1000 Cadets from all disciplines, Sea, Army Cadets and the Air Training Corps who were on parade at Wyvern Barracks, Exeter before Her Majesty The Queen and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant of Devon. I was very pleased to be invited as President of TS Cannonteign, together with a group of our Sea Cadets and their Officers. The Queen and Duke were greeted by Wing Commander Brian Wills-Pope, Officer Commanding Devon & Somerset Air Cadets who escorted her Majesty when she inspected the Cadets on parade and with the Duke spent over an hour looking at the various displays and activities enjoyed by all the young people. Wing Commander Brian Wills-Pope was a former Councillor and colleague at Teignbridge and Devon County Council.
