I have been working at Guildford Cathedral for 4 years, joining immediately after retiring from the Royal Navy, in which I served for 34 years. Guildford Cathedral is a perfect place to help further the aims of the Royal British Legion, as it supports service men and women and their families, and provides assistance to veterans. There are very close links with the Royal Navy (the Ganges Cross and the WRNS Book of Remembrance) and the Army (the Queen's Royal Surrey Regimental Chapel, the Surrey Yeomanry Memorial, and the WRAC Book of Remembrance). My personal favourite is the oak tree planted by the Guildford Branch of the "Old Contemptibles" Association in 1949, to honour the memory of their comrades in the British Expeditionary Force who fell fighting the Kaiser's Army between August and November 1914.  The Cathedral is very much, therefore, a champion of Remembrance, safeguarding the memory of those who have given their lives for our freedom, which we do by caring for these and other memorials and holding Remembrance services, education workshops and other events.
