Friary cornet player Simon Persin was again part of Guildford’s flag-raising ceremony to mark Armed  Forces Week on Monday.  As part of the short service, Simon played a fanfare on the Guildhall balcony before the flag was raised.  The formalities concluded with three rousing cheers for His Majesty The King and His Armed Forces.

“It’s always an honour and privilege to be part of this notable occasion, all the more so with some fellow Friary players in HM Forces and at this time of various tensions in the world” commented Simon.
