On Tuesday myself and Zoe went to the Tower of London to see her brother Glynn who was doing ceremonial duties there as part of the 4 Battalion REME.
30 years ago Glynn was one of my first Beavers into the group so this was a good occasion to see him as this was the first time in 30 years that the REME had been asked to do ceremonial duties in London.
We took up the posters that both Leonard and Jose Beavers had coloured in for them plus a cake for Glynn and his colleagues.
The Beavers thought it was brilliant that they were doing a poster for someone in the Tower of London and all members of the Scout Group have had one of the special badges that were made up to celebrate my 30 years.
Myself and Zoe were escorted around the Tower of London by Sergeant Glynn Braunton-Turner in his ceremonial dress and saw the Crown Jewels and the beautiful but noisy Ravens.
We went back in the evening as guests to watch the Ceremony of the Keys which was incredible.
Glynn and his colleagues sent a BIG THANK YOU back for the posters and the cake was absolutely delicious. Many thanks to Cathryn McCollum for making the cake.
