On Friday, Petty Officer Cadet Broadfoot, in her role as the Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadet, had the honour of supporting Professor Adeeba Malik, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, at the Freedom of the City Parade in Keighley.

The parade saw the The Royal Yorkshire Regiment proudly exercise the Freedom of the City, marking a significant civic and military occasion. This historic privilege allows the regiment to march through the town with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed.

We are incredibly proud of POC Broadfoot for representing both our unit and the Sea Cadets with such professionalism and dedication at this prestigious event. Well done, POC Broadfoot! 👏⚓️🇬🇧
