RMA CoL Corps Birthday – Tower Of London – Sunday, 26th October 2025

Members and guest proudly gathered to celebrate our 361st Corps Birthday with a traditional church service at St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London.

The weather was on our side, adding to the occasion as the marching contingent, led with great dignity by Charles Timms MBE carrying our Standard, made its way through the grounds. As we marched past, the Crown Jewels sentries jointly offered a salute to our Standard, marking the significance of the moment. The service was conducted by Canon Roger Hall MBE, a longstanding and valued friend of the branch. Our President, Lt Gen Sir Rob Fulton KBE KStJ, delivered the lesson, and I had the honour of offering our Corps prayer at the conclusion of the service.

Upon leaving the church, we paused for a short act of remembrance, reflecting on the wooden crosses laid by the Yeoman Warders in honour of the fallen.

The celebrations continued at the Tower Hotel, where a heartfelt toast was raised in recognition of our 361st birthday.

It was a truly memorable and uplifting day for all who attended.

Big Thank You to Robin Hollamby for these excellent photos
