Queens Jubilee Pageant
This July Cosford held one of its most
memorable events in it’s recent history.
On the 12th of the month, as part of
her Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, the
Queen along with the Duke of Edinburgh visited RAF Cosford. The Cadets
were delighted to have been invited
to help out at the Pageant. In preparation for the event every Cadet
ironed their uniforms and bulled their
shoes to the highest standard.
In total, 255 Cadets from across the
wing turned out to help staff the
event. The Cadets were asked to line
the route the Queen and the rest of
her convoy would travel. So evenly
they spread themselves out between
R.A.F. Personnel and stood patiently
awaiting Her Majesties arrival.
have memories that will last a lifetime. The
day went well and the rain just about manage to hold off for us, and the Queen
seemed delighted with the parade that had
been organized for her.

For four of the Cadets in particular the day
will be especially memorable. Sgt. Frost of
Cosford Squadron along with three others
from across the wing had the chance to get
up close to the Queen as they were challenged with the job of ushering the V.I.P.
guests. Each of the four boys looked fantastic in there best uniforms. They were all very
lucky, not only because they were privileged
with the job they’d been assigned but also,
because they got the chance to meet and get
interviewed by BBC’s Nick Hancock. Unfortunately, the clip ended up on the cutting room
floor. Their loss Frosty!!

Each cadet anticipated the arrival of
Her Majesty and were hopeful to
catch a glimpse. They were all fortunate enough to see her face as the car
passed and some were even lucky
enough to get a smile or wave. Every
cadet felt privileged to be able to be
a part of this special event and
