Dedication of New Standard on 5th September 2021.

A service took place on Sunday 5th September 2021 in St Andrews Church to dedicate a new Standard for the branch. The service was conducted by the venerable Vernon Ross, Archdeacon of Westmorland & Furness. The service included the Laying Up of the old Standard which now hangs in the Church for safe keeping. Attendees included the Lord-Lieutenant of Cumbria, Mrs Claire Hensman, various Councillors, members of the RBL County Committee, the Headmaster of Sedbergh School and the Headteachers of Settlebeck Secondary School and Sedbergh Primary School.
