T Day 2019 - Around this time of year 400 or so of the youth of our Nation wise enough to wear the RN's blue suit (as Sea Cadets etc) march up the Mall and thrill onlookers with their programme of drill/music/wreaths/prayers and suchlike within Trafalgar Square.
Sadly, on Sun 20th this year, Traf Square was not available - having become a litter-strewn & shabby tent city occupied by glued-on-and-sniffling inconsiderates. Instead, a late venue change resulted in their programme being shifted to Horse Guards Parade, as announced by the Sun:

Went the day well? Unlikely to gain the Media's attention to anything like the same degree as other recent marches & incidents at T Sq but apparently it was a great success. The dry weather certainly helped & the Sea Cadet's various Facebook pages include heaps of photos.
