On Sunday 14th September, I had the honour of taking a group of Veterans from Portsmouth to London for the 2025 Royal Naval Association Biennial Naval Parade. Travelling together by minibus, spirits were high as we made our way to Whitehall, where veterans from across the country gathered to honour service, tradition, and camaraderie.
The day was marked by pride, reflection, and plenty of shared memories. From the march past the Cenotaph, where some of our group took part, to the salute taken by senior naval figures, the event was a fitting tribute to the service and sacrifice of those who’ve worn the uniform. All who attended were over the moon to see our CEO, Carl Dixon, march with the senior figures.
It was a privilege to support this group of veterans and help them take part in such a meaningful occasion. Bravo Zulu to all who attended and to the RNA for organising another memorable parade.
I look forward to attending future events.

‘I would like to thank Agamemnon and Sam (Court Manager) for arranging the trip to the RNA 75th anniversary parade in London. It turned out to be a very enjoyable and informative day’. ‘Mirium and I had great company in the form of John and Dave from Neptune Court – with thanks to the civil service club for providing a sandwich lunch. It was wonderful to see the young sailors marching and the Royal Marine Band is of course unbeatable’.
Ann and Mirium, Eliza Mackenzie Court.
