The Lord-Lieutenant remarked:
‘I would like to congratulate all of the award winners for what you have achieved, I know we are all so impressed by your remarkable dedication to society, and I salute you for your service…..
We have heard about some of the Reservists’ major achievements tonight. The Reserves are a vital asset to the nation, contributing to its security and its place in the world. They enjoy the kind of challenge and comradeship which are rare in civilian life and yet are able to balance military service with their responsibilities to their families and civilian careers. …
Thank you all for attending, it has been a spectacular evening and thank you to SERFCA for their amazing organisation and for bringing us to the Royal Military Academy’
