Duke of Gloucester visits Surrey charities

Each year a number of young people are appointed to serve as Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets.

They are drawn from the Sea Cadets, Army Cadets, the Air Training Corps, the Combined Cadet Force and from the civil uniformed youth organisations – Scouts, Girl Guiding and the St John Ambulance – across Surrey.

When on duty, Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets wear a distinctive sash with the badge of their appointment, to denote their role. They assist the Lord-Lieutenant as required – often on parade for Royal visits – and act as ambassadors for their organisations and the young people of Surrey.

This year’s cadets are:

• Leading Cadet Crystal Walker  – Camberley Sea Cadets – SCC
• Leading Cadet Ashton Oakes – Staines and Egham Sea Cadets – SCC
• ACF Cadet Sergeant Megan Ritchie – Farnham Detachment, Surrey (PWRR Bn) – ACF
• ATC Cadet Warrant Officer Lucas Reeve – 1349 (Woking) Squadron, Surrey Wing  – ATC
• Explorer Scout  – James Richardson
• Cadet Sergeant  – Lily Brown
