TA Centenary Parade in Reigate

Thousands of people are expected to turn out to honour members of the Territorial Army when they parade through the streets of Reigate on Saturday, May 10th. The parade, part of the TA's centenary celebrations, will be made up of local troops from 150 Recovery Company Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers and 2 Field Troop 579 Field Squadron many of who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The event is being organised by the Borough Council: "We wanted to recognise the service of the Borough's troops to their country and to thank them for the sacrifices they and their families have made. The parade will enable both the Council and the Borough's residents to join together to show our gratitude."
