Deputy Mayor’s Welcome

The Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, Cllr. Hazel Lynsky apologises for not being able to attend but is pleased that the Deputy Mayor, Cllr, Roberta Swiers will fulfil her duties on this occasion.

As Deputy Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, I am honoured to be hosting the Armed Forces Day on behalf of Scarborough Borough Council.

As many of you will know, being loyal supporters and contributors of this annual event in Scarborough, this will be the 11th year that it has taken place. It is an event that started small on West Pier and quickly developed to encompass the entire South Bay including the beach. We have since 2014 - when the Red Arrows first displayed - been running an event that has equalled any city that has hosted the National Armed Forces Day. With all that experience and knowledge it’s no wonder that the Events Team wrote an “exceptional bid” that won Scarborough the opportunity to host the National event in 2020.

Sadly today, we are saying goodbye to the Armed Forces Day Manager, Rowena Marsden who has been the backbone and mainstay of the event since its inception in 2009. On behalf of the AFD steering group and all the AFD supporters, exhibiters and veterans that have got to know Rowena over the years, I would like to extend our thanks and wish her well for the future.

This year we are privileged to mark the Centenary of the Scarborough Sea Cadets, T.S. Scarborough. They have invited a contingent from Northampton to join them here today to celebrate their achievements, so give them a cheer when they all proudly parade at 12 noon in the opening ceremony.

We also welcome a new large exhibit on West Pier - the Barnsley Airborne Comrades Association, who have a fantastic array of weapons and stories of “daring-do” to share with you all and be aware that they will be firing a mortar gun on the half hour throughout the day!

I hope you will enjoy this special day and say “Thank you” to our Armed Services personnel - past, present and future.

Service of T hanksgiving

Welcome Exhortation • Last Post Hymn • O God, our help in ages past, A thousand ages in Thy sight One Minute Silence Our hope for years to come, Are like an evening gone; • Our shelter from the stormy blast, Short as the watch that ends the night Reveille And our eternal home; Before the rising sun. • Under the shadow of Thy throne Time, like an ever rolling stream, Kohima Epitaph Thy saints have dwelt secure; Bears all its sons away; • Sufficient is Thine arm alone, They fly forgotten, as a dream Prayers And our defence is sure. Dies at the opening day. For the Queen and Royal Family • Before the hills in order stood, O God, our help in ages past, Or earth received her frame, Our hope for years to come, The Lord’s Prayer From everlasting Thou art God, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, To endless years the same. And our eternal home. Reading ‘Our Sergeant Major’ Reading What would we have done without him being there? ‘Raymond Victor Steed’ By Scarborough poet, T W Ward By Joe Earl, a former Merchant Seaman and member of the Scarborough Merchant Navy Association Performed by Major Tony Viney, The Yorkshire Regiment

This poem is dedicated to the memory of the many young people who lost their lives at sea during the Second World War… The Blessing not having not reached their 16th birthday. • The National Anthem God save our Gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen!

SCARBOROUGH SEA CADETS CELEBRATE

T.S. Scarborough Centenary 1919-2019

In 1919 an application was made to the Admiral Commanding Coast Guards and Reserves for the East Mount Sea Training School (later known as the Graham Sea Training School) to be recognised as a Naval Unit. The status was granted on completion of their first Royal Naval Inspection and in early 1920 the unit was re-named Sea Cadets and proudly issued with naval uniforms.

Many cadets and staff have passed through the doors over the years with the steadfast aim of working together as a team representing Scarborough at the highest standards expected. They have travelled offshore, abroad, on Royal Navy ships, met Royalty, made friends for life and taken skills they learnt with them into adulthood.

Throughout the units’ history, the common goal of giving the youth of the town the best opportunities through nautical adventure and fun has been the driving force that has been recognised both at local and national level.

The town of Scarborough has always supported the Sea Cadets as much as possible and we appreciate it immensely. Without the support of the council and the public over the last 100 years the unit would not strive the way it does today.This constant support has enabled T.S. Scarborough to attain the pinnacle of success by winning the Canada Trophy in 2018 and being named the best Sea Cadet Unit in the UK.

We would like to thank everyone who has ever contributed to Scarborough Sea Cadets in any way large or small over the last Century.

Your support has made a difference in so many people’s lives and we look forward to another 100 years doing what we do and we hope you are as proud as we are to be part of the Scarborough Sea Cadet Family.
