Sea Cadets' final parade at HMS Tamar
More than 200 young Sea Cadets will be on parade this Sunday (November 17), when they take part in their last annual divisions at HMS Tamar.
HMS Tamar's Commanding Officer, Commander Ross Thoburn, will inspect the divisions.
This is the last time the 8-14 year old boys and girls will parade at the Naval Base, on Stonecutters Island, which is due to be decommissioned next April in preparation for the drawdown of British Forces and the handover of sovereignty to China.
The Sea Cadets undergo drill instruction and spend days at sea with the Hong Kong Squadron and this year, they will participate in the Garrison's final Open Days, on November 23 and 24, where they will be helping with crowd control and escorting visitors on board the Squadron's patrol craft.
