Over the weekend members of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Army Cadet Force were in London representing the Army Cadets on the national stage. 

Several members were from the Island.

A selection of adult volunteers and cadets were chosen to represent the Army Cadet Force nationally and make the journey to parade at the Royal Albert Hall for the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday night along with a march past the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Sunday morning. 

The impeccably presented Army Cadets were in their No2 uniforms. 

Hampshire and Isle of Wight ACF’s Commandant, Col Theresa Farmer, said: "The cadets and instructors of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Army Cadet Force made us very proud in representing the Army Cadet Force nationally with their impeccable turnout and performance both at the Festival of Remembrance and their parade past the Cenotaph which was watched by millions on the BBC on Sunday. 

"Their practice over the last few weeks really showed and they were a credit to us and the organisation as a whole.”

The Army Cadet Force is a youth organisation sponsored by the Ministry of Defence, open to young people aged between 12 and 18.

Activities include expeditions, adventure training, fieldcraft, shooting, sport, first aid, drill, music and camps.
