Ms Quinlivan QC and Ms Askin appeared for the appellants, Mr Scoffield QC and Mr Henry for the Coroner, Mr Aldworth QC and Mr Egan for the Ministry of Defence (“MOD”) and a written intervention was made by Ms Campbell on behalf of Inquest. We are grateful to all counsel for their helpful oral and written submissions. At the end of the hearing because of the imminence of the commencement of the inquest we indicated that the appeal should be dismissed but invited the appellants to consider an application under section 17A(4)(b) of the 1959 Act. These are our reasons. Background [2] The appellants are the mothers of two soldiers who were found dead at Abercorn Barracks, Ballykinler Northern Ireland.

  • Royal Anglian Regiment
    COUNCIL – 4TH SEPTEMBER 2006 Report of the Chief Executive 5.1 FREEDOM OF ENTRY – ROYAL ANGLIAN REGIMENT Purpose of Report To recognise the service and achievements by the Royal Anglian Regiment and its close links with the Borough of Charnwood by granting them Freedom of entry to the Borough of Charnwood. Recommendation That Freedom of Entry to the Borough of Charnwood be granted upon the Royal Anglian Regiment. Background to Freedom of Entry The practice of granting the 'Freedom of Entry' upon military units has its roots deep in the history of local government; it is an interesting example of the power and influence of old boroughs in the past. During the Middle Ages, formed bodies of troops were not allowed to march through a borough without seeking the permission of the Council. As most boroughs were surrounded by a fortified wall the city fathers were in a position to refuse access if, for some reason, they were suspicious of the Military Commander's intentions. The Freedom of entry would normally be granted to locally based troops once mutual confidence and friendship had been established and when the citizens were satisfied that the troops would protect their interests. Permission to enter confers upon individual Regiments the right "to march through the city with due ceremonial, drums beating, bands playing and banner flying', in recognition of the confidence, trust and friendship existing between the citizens and soldiers. Such permission is accompanied by a sealed and illuminated certificate, which is presented at a formal parade where the Mayor inspects the assembled troops and then invites all involved to a reception.
