Yesterday, I was delighted to attend the Freedom of the County parade for 4624 Squadron, Royal Auxilliary Air Force, Brize Norton. They were conferred this honour by the County Council last year in recognition of over thirty years of distinguished service, demonstrating sacrifice and commitment to the defence of the realm and for dedicated support to local charities and communities.
The parade began in St. Giles and ended at County Hall (see photos above), where we were there to welcome them to a reception. I enjoyed meeting many of them and hearing their individual stories, and it was inspiring to understand how hard they work on behalf of us all. As reservists, many of them rely on the support of their employers and these can range from the NHS to private companies. You can read more about it here.
