Branch chairman Cliff Mewett gave veterans Kyle Greenwood and Harry Pope a warm welcome by mounting their regiment’s shield above the bar.
It replaced a Royal Canadian Air Force shield which will go on to form part of a display marking the 80th anniversary of the Dambusters raid in May 2023.

The ceremony took place during the club’s ‘Battle of Trafalgar’ tri-service veterans lunch, hosted by the Royal Naval Association branch. A spokesperson for the RAFA club said ‘veterans from all branches of the armed services are welcome, particularly those who need a bit of support.’
