The London Regiment Association

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Further to my post back on 29 March, the London Regiment Association has now been allocated 20 places for this year's Royal British Legion Dispersal Parade at the Cenotaph, on Sunday 8 November 2026

So far, I believe I am expecting 10 (including me) to march.

Notwithstanding that serving personnel are officially disallowed, we did successfully register several individuals who qualified as first-generation family members of those who served in His Majesty’s Armed Forces and have died. Hopefully, this provides an 'in' for a number of you who might otherwise be ineligible.

Please confirm, as soon as you can, your intentions for 2026; registration closes on 30 September. This should constitute as firm a commitment as possible, given that we don’t want to register individuals who subsequently fall out. It would be great to improve on the number of 15 who marched last year.

We will round off the day again with lunch, probably in the Cavalry and Guards Club again. Private guests are extremely welcome.

You all know the required standard of dress; if unsure, please see https://www.londonregimentassociation.co.uk/galleries.

Please do alert anyone who you feel would be willing and able to commit in the appropriate spirit.

Thanks.

Yours aye,

Ed

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The LRA will find a contingent for the Royal British Legion’s Cenotaph Dispersal on Sunday 8 November 2026.

I need to provide the RBL with an estimate of the number of places we would like for the LRA at this year's Parade by Friday 24 April 2026.

The eligibility criteria are as follows:

1. Ex-service personnel from the UK and the Commonwealth who have served the Crown.
2. Retired emergency services personnel from the UK and Commonwealth who have served the Crown.
3. Partners or first-generation family members of those who served in His Majesty’s Armed Forces and have died. This only includes the following:
a. Wives, husbands, partners or civil partners
b. Siblings
c. Parents
d. Children

Notwithstanding that serving personnel are disallowed, we did successfully register several individuals who qualified as first-generation family members of those who served in His Majesty’s Armed Forces and have died. Hopefully, this provides an 'in' for a number of you who might otherwise be ineligible.

Please confirm, as soon as you can, your intentions for 2026; this should constitute as firm a commitment as possible, given that we don’t want to take places that we subsequently fail to fill. It would be great to improve on the number of 15 who marched last year.

We will round off the day again with lunch at the Cavalry and Guards Club. Private guests are extremely welcome.

You all know the required standard of dress; if unsure, please see https://www.londonregimentassociation.co.uk/events and https://www.londonregimentassociation.co.uk/galleries.

I look forward to hearing from you and please do pass this on to anyone whom you feel would be willing and able to commit in the appropriate spirit. Details have also been posted on the LRA website.

Thanks.

Yours aye,

Ed
