A good number of civic leaders too. Plenty of cadets. I didn't see an RAF standard bearer but there were some cadets./ The church was full. Good hymns. My only complaint is that the chaplain giving a sermon had no microphone. The bugler was excellent . Les Bond & his pals sang a specially-written song about it being a hundred years since the lads marched off. One couple had travelled from Cambridgeshire to remember the chap's grandfather. I have written to Shelley Whitehead to congratulate and thank her.
