British Legion Parade Marshall Handover Updated

British Legion Eastcote Parade Marshall Handover
At a recent ceremony at the Eastcote War Memorial gardens there was a Parade marshall handover involving,WO Mark Chapman to FS Vicky Bannister both of RAF Northolt pictured above with other Civic and British Legion Dignitaries.
RAF Warrant Officer Mark Chapman has been the Eastcote Royal British Legion Branch Remembrance Sunday Parade Marshal for every year since 2002 (except for an overseas tour in 2008). Mark, of RAF Northolt, is shortly to take up an embedded post with the US Military for three years.

During Mark’s tenure the public attendance at this significant local public event has grown from a few hundred people to well over a thousand people of all ages, This is due in large part not only to Mark’s qualities in drill but also to inspiring a team of supporters before and on the day.

Several years ago Mark secured the services of the RAF Northolt based 600 City of London Squadron RAuxAF to attend and lead the Eastcote Remembrance Sunday Parade & Service. With Mark departing for the USA, 600 Squadron were only too delighted to continue to provide personnel each year to attend this event but also to have one of their SNCOs take on the office of Eastcote RBL Branch Parade Marshal. By this means we will continue to have a local military lead at this event irrespective of a change in their personnel.
