The ceremony was as ever very moving. The exhortation 'For the Fallen' by L.Binyon being read by Colonel David Middleton Commandant Northumbria ACF.
Hearing Highland Cathederal echoing around the arches was excellent.
The march off entailed a counter march under the Menin Gate before marching back down the Meninstraat with the skirl of the pipes from Somme Battlefield Pipe Band playing on the road to Paschendaele.
A momentous occasion.
