Celebration of the Surrey Joint Services’ Charities.

On Sunday June 22^nd I was honoured to be present at the ‘Annual Surrey Joint Services’ Charities Choral Mattins’. 

The Lord Lieutenant, many DLs and Mayors from across Surrey were present with other dignitaries at the service in Guildford Cathedral. Cadets were present from all the armed forces, together with the police cadets, and they treated the congregation after the service to a parade outside the cathedral. It was great to see so many young people participating as cadets. Being part of the cadets greatly enhances young people’s prospects by encouraging self-confidence, team-work and broadening horizons. I was delighted my two police cadet, Grace and Imogen, were present together with other police cadets; and the Chief Constable, Tim De Meyer, and I were delighted to join them for a photo afterwards.
