Young members of Calne’s youth organisations have been recognised for their outstanding turnout at the town’s Remembrance Parade.
Janet Alexander, chair of the Calne branch of the Royal British Legion, presented three trophies to children from local youth groups who were judged to be the best turned out on the parade.
The Limyoe Trophy was awarded to Charlotte Bowden of the Calne Detachment, Sword Company Army Cadet Force. A certificate was also presented to Staff Sergeant Karl Bainbridge on behalf of the detachment in recognition of its fundraising efforts, after raising £5,067.66.
