The Squadron paid its respects to British and Commonwealth war dead during Remembrance Sunday at the beginning of the month. Cadets, NCO’s and staff formed one of the largest contingents to the local parade which took place along Mare Street in Hackney. The Parade formed at Hackney Town hall, and marched the half mile route along Mare Street, down the Narrow Way to the church of St John in Hackney where a Service of Remembrance was held. A wreath for the Squadron was laid by Cadet Sheri Kryeziu, and one for the Volunteer Reserve Branch of the Royal Air Force was laid by Commanding Officer Flight Lieutenant Anthony Barker. After the service cadets marched back to the town hall where a second wreath was laid in honour of the Borough.
It is worth mentioning that the Borough of Hackney lost thousands of young men during the First world war, and suffered horrendous Civilian casualties during the Blitz and consequent fighting of World War two, and this was not lost on cadets as after the parade they retired to the General Browning Club on Morning Lane for light refreshments and war stories.
