Sea Cadets - Centenary Square

Sea cadets this morning gathering in Centenary Square to mark the two hundred and twentieth anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar.  There were over one hundred and seventy cadets from various parts of West Yorkshire and Harrogate in the town centre.  To be honest I didn't know this event was taking place and came across it purely by chance whilst out on a Saturday morning bike ride.  The cadets were to march up to the Cathedral for a church service and then back down to the town centre around lunchtime.

Bradford Sea Cadets - Trafalgar Day

This post is a little late as this event happened last Sunday. Around 150 cadets from all eight of West Yorkshire's Sea Cadet units assembled in the town centre.to mark Lord Nelson's victory at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and also to mark the 75th anniversary of Sea Cadets in Bradford.  Cadets assembled in Centenary Square before proceeding through the streets to Bradford Cathedral where a service was held, the procession then returned to Centenary Square.
