Happy ! "Wait for Me, Daddy" captures five-year-old Warren "Wh**ey" Bernard, running out of his mother's grasp to his father, Private Jack Bernard.

The photo was taken by Claude P. Dettloff on 1 October 1940 of the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles) marching in New Westminster.

Wh**ey's dad survived the European theatre in and came home in October 1945. One casualty of the war was Wh**ey’s parents' marriage; as Jack and Bernice Bernard eventually divorced.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandads, father figures and mentors across the Sea Cadets Physical Training Branch! 💙

Today, we celebrate and thank all those who balance family life with their commitment to supporting and developing young people through Physical Training.

Whether you’re spending today with your family, on duty, volunteering at your unit, or remembering those who are no longer with us, we hope you have a day to be proud of.

The dedication, patience and leadership you show both at home and within our Branch helps inspire the next generation of cadets to grow in confidence, resilience and teamwork.

From everyone in the Sea Cadets Physical Training Branch, thank you for everything you do.

Wishing you all a very Happy Father’s Day! 👏

A fantastic day for our teams at the Surrey District Paddle sports competition!

🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥈🥉

Thank you so so much to all the staff that came along to help and support. A cheesy thing to say but these things do not happen without this support (Spaces for more volunteers, if you're reading this and feeling left out 😉).

Cadets were also congratulated on their behaviour; always friendly, helpful well behaved and courteous. They are real ambassadors for the unit.

And they’re off! ⚓

Adam( Reigate unit) and Alex beginning their offshore week aboard TS Royalist.

Friends since birth, now making memories at sea together - despite different schools and different Sea Cadet units, they always find their way back onto an offshore adventure together each year.

What an incredible opportunity for them both.

It was an honour to support as His Majesty The King presented new colours.

Several hundred troops marched through Windsor, from Victoria Barracks, up to Windsor Castle where the private presentation ceremony took place in the Castle Quadrangle.

The last time the Royal Marines received new Colours was in 2001.

BZ Cadets. You did us proud. 🫡
