Veterans Affairs committee  In a bit of an ad hoc way, perhaps in appearance it would seem. The Royal British Legion, as mentioned earlier, does have an engagement program to get into schools. The way we found it works quite well is that if you present the schools with a product that suits part of their cur

Veterans Affairs committee  We've been in partnership by virtue of the likes of Afghanistan, for example.

Brigadier Barry Le Grys

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes. A good example of that, as I mentioned earlier, is the D-Day landing commemoration. We have done some extremely large events at appropriate periods--the 50th, for example, and so on--involving royalty, the Queen notably at the 50th. We are no longer going to do those things,

Veterans Affairs committee  I think there has been an increase in recent years. For example, communities and cities are far more inclined to say they have a local regiment, it has freedom of the city, and they'd like a freedom parade. Whether that's when they return from Afghanistan or some other point that
