THE centre of Winchester came to a standstill today as hundreds of teenage cadets receive a unique honour from the city.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Army Cadet Force turned out in force to accept the Friendship Scroll from the city mayor Chris Pines.
More than 400 teenage cadets and their adult instructors formed into six companies and, behind their band and corps of drums, marched from Peninsula Barracks down the High Street to the Guildhall.
Before marching back up the High Street, the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire Mary Fagan, who is the force's honorary colonel, also presented them with a new banner.
