The Fifth had a wonderful turnout from all sections, in smart uniforms (for the most part) and brilliant behaviour (from everybody). Following remembrance themed activities for some of the sections, we invited them all to parade at Beckenham War Memorial on Sunday Morning. The hight street was closed off and with a parade that was 50% 5th Beckenham South, we walked to a memorial that is inscribed with the names of over 1,200 Beckenham residents who lost their lives fighting for their country.

Chris and Badger lead the group down the High Street while Nicky carries the flag.

Their behaviour was perfect and the weather was glorious for a very special day.
Grace, Lizzie, Rhylie and Luke chat to Col. Bob Stewart MP.
They might be a scruffy lot but they did their duty and were a credit to us.
Here is a little video of the event:
