Royal Hillsborough Branch

The branch standard was dedicated on Sunday 29th May 2022 at a superb ceremony in front of the historic Hillsborough Fort. We were very privileged to have the Bugles, Band, Pipes and Drums of the Royal Irish Regiment to lead the parade. The standard was presented by the Lord Lieutenant for County Down, Gawn Hamilton and dedicated by Rev Sam McVeigh,  chaplain to the RBL in Northern Ireland.

We then held a short service to commemorate the centenary of the war memorial in the village

We had many visiting branch and association standards, and it was a very memorable and proud day for us in the village. Thanks to Norman for the photographs.
