The latest date for the 2021 Ely Parade is......................
18th July 2021
The 2021 Annual Bn Reunion Parade at Ely is currently set for the weekend of 17th and 18th of July 2021.
Hi Troops,
It looks like we will be free to roam, from June!
That is fantastic news as this year's Ely Parade is currently scheduled for the 18th of July.
I have received advance notice of a letter being sent to Association members and I hope you will find a copy below so you have the basic information. Please pass this information to ALL ex members of 6 R Anglian AND all other ex service personnel. They will all be welcome to watch or if they wish join in the short march.
So a plea from me to you all.
We have missed the 75th Anniversary of VJ day and of course, we have been unable to attend funerals of our fallen since the start of the pandemic.
Before you book any holidays can you leave the weekend of the 18th of July free?
You can then attend the Parade on Sunday and or the Saturday evening in the Minster Tavern allowing us all to celebrate with the very few guys left that suffered at the hands of the Japanese and of course, a toast to our fallen that have left us in the last two years or so.
More details will be forthcoming nearer the date. Just to remind everyone Ely Cathedral houses the 6th Bn Colours so this event is for all ex 6 R Anglian. However ALL arms are welcome so if you are in contact with ANY ex 6 R Anglian or ANY ex RAF, Navy or, any other Army people please pass them the date and ensure they know they are most welcome.
I hope to see you all at Ely this year and let us hope nothing changes!
I will update this page as the updates arrive. PLEASE TRY AND AT LEAST POP ALONG ON THE DAY. I for one, would love to see you.

So if you wish to attend the exhibition, parade/march past and you need to be in the Cathedral 1.30 pm.
76TH ANNIVERSARY OF VJ DAY We missed the 75th so we MUST make this a special day for those few that are left.
18th July is the date for the 2021 Annual Ely Parade
