On Sunday 8th September, Eden Camp, the modern history museum in Malton, North Yorkshire hosted an All Services Parade. The significant event brought together hundreds of veterans, military associations and organisations from across the UK for a day of remembrance, respect, and celebration of service.
The museum gates opened at 10am, with Eden Camp offering free admission to a wide range of individuals who have dedicated their lives to serving the country. They were currently serving members of His Majesty’s Forces, veterans, members of the Emergency Services, civilian organisations supporting HM Forces, members of the Royal British Legion (RBL), and other military veterans’ associations, organisations, and charities.
Paula Peace, Managing Director of Eden Camp, said “We’re deeply honoured to have welcomed so many heroes to Eden Camp for the All Services Parade. This event is not only a way for us to recognise and thank those who have served, but also a chance for the public to show their support and appreciation. It was a day of unity, remembrance, and respect – a chance to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many.”
The highlight of the day was the All Services Parade, which commenced at 14:30, featuring the Yorkshire Volunteers Marching Band, followed by Standards, Veterans, and Cadet Forces.
The parade moved off around the camp, followed by a solemn Service of Remembrance, lasting approximately 30 minutes. During this service, the Standards were dipped as the Last Post was sounded, and a Minute’s Silence was observed in honour of those who have given their lives in service.
