Sadly due to the Covid pandemic, the march past at the Cenotaph was closed to veterans and it was left to individuals to pay they respects at their local memorials. A toast to those Movers who had died over the last year was carried out at 1330Z. This was broadcast live on the RAF Movers Facebook group to enable everyone who wanted to, to raise a glass at the same time and remember those who gone on their final postings.
