Ex-soldiers from the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment paraded through Exeter today in commemoration of the formation of the regiment on 17th May 1958. Fortunately the bad weather which had been forecast did not appear during the parade. The men marched from the Civic Centre to the Corn Exchange led by the band of The Rifles, the route lined with well-wishers. After a religious service the men and their ladies enjoyed a reunion over lunch and just a few pints. It was a great occasion and we were delighted to be able to attend.
