HRH The Duke of Gloucester visits Thame

On Tuesday 11 June 2024, His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, visited Thame for a ceremony to mark the unveiling of the additional thirty names added to the Thame War Memorial.

It was attended by around 300 people.

The additional names were uncovered after many years of research by our Project.

Students from Lord Williams’s School read the names of the thirty men during the proceedings, while the Army Cadet Force and 594 (Thame) Royal Air Cadets provided a guard of honour around the War Memorial and unveiled a new display board.

A copy of our Thame Remembers Book, “The Fallen” was presented to His Royal Highness by our youngster members of the project team.

The event concluded with a chinook flypast.
