Wiesbaden band’s visit strikes a chord with TS Brilliant cadets
TS BRILLIANT Sea Cadets in Tunbridge Wells hosted 30 members of the Red Heralds band from twin town Wiesbaden.
The unit has had an affiliation with their German counterparts since 1970.
On arrival, the guests were treated to a supper cooked by staff and volunteers at the TS Brilliant headquarters in Albion Road.
The group went on a walking tour of the town, followed by a barbecue and joint band practice with the Sea Cadets.
The Red Heralds also visited Brighton for a day out at the seaside, after which a formal dinner was held in their honour with the Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, Cllr Len Horwood, and his wife Judy in attendance.
During the evening, the Unit Officer Commanding, Sub-Lieutenant Matthew Vanns of the Royal Naval Reserve, was presented with the Cadet Forces Medal Certificate, and the groups exchanged gifts of friendship.
