Huge congratulations to CC 232, which saw 161 UK & International Officer Cadets commission & march up those famous steps for the last time today.

A very proud moment for all of them and their families and I wish them all the success for the future as they lead our men and women.

We caught up with the Officer Cadets at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on Old College Parade Square, practicing drill for the upcoming Sovereign's Parade this Friday. You can view the event live on our Facebook page.

Fab. occasion. In this day and age it’s important to celebrate those things that draw people together.
