In Peterborough 150 soldiers from 158 (Royal Anglian) Transport Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps (Volunteers) exercised their Freedom of the City when they marched with fixed bayonets and flags flying through the city centre to a parade in front of the Cathedral.

Meanwhile 40 miles away in Northampton soldiers from 2 R ANGLIAN and veterans from the county took part in a special parade to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Talavera, a Royal Anglian Regiment battle honour. The occasion also marked the final call to arms of the Northamptonshire Regiment Association which is now disbanding. Hundreds of townspeople turned out to honour the soldiers from the past and the present.
