On Sunday, November 1, 2026, members of the Wakefield Branch, including Jim and Trish Greenlee, along with Nigel Blackburn, Russ Snood, and Terry Metcalf from the Pontefract Branch, participated in the parade of veterans at the Nostell Priory Festival of Remembrance.

Our KOYLI, LI, and Rifles Association Standards joined the parade of Standards. The Standard Bearers were Andy Kober, Rob Smith, and Colin Cranswick. The Last Post and Reveille were performed by Kev Fawcett.
