It was Scottish Areas turn, this year, to provide the main contingent at the Service, accordingly the ROCA National Standard was carried by Dane Murdoch from Edinburgh Group.
National Chairman John Sharpe, together with Rena Bell and Jim MacKee also travelled down from Scotland to London to attend. Other ROCA members came from Oxford, Bedford, Maidstone, and Yeovil Groups.

It was a pleasant reminder of our special service, at St. Clement Danes, last October when we laid up our Sovereigns Banner.
