Having come straight from the really enjoyable first Pride of Worthing, I received a lot of odd looks when I attended the RAF Cadets service of commemoration and thanksgiving for the Royal Air Force 100th birthday later that afternoon in the magnificent Lancing College Chapel, having failed to remove all my glitter!
It was good to see the young cadets joining in the celebrations alongside a couple of veterans from WWII Hurricanes who regaled us with their extraordinary tales of courage. And particularly poignant in Lancing College Chapel where many of the seats have a brass plaque dedicated to pupils of the school who 100 years’ earlier went to war never to return.
