National Cadet Week is an opportunity to recognise the thousands of young people who are part of the Cadet movement and to celebrate the confidence, teamwork, leadership and sense of service that the Cadet experience helps to develop. At the start of #NationalCadetWeek, we are proud at the Birmingham International Tattoo of all the young people who take part each year, including the cadets and others, and our own role in helping them develop their skills and confidence during the weekend.
A very special royal message π€΄π¬π§
On the eve of #NationalCadetsWeek His Majesty the King shares a message of thanks to all cadets, adult volunteers, family members, supporters and employers.
Wishing everyone taking part in Ride to the Wall this weekend a safe and memorable journey. The Birmingham International Tattoo is proud to recognise the spirit of remembrance that brings thousands of motorcyclists together at the National Memorial Arboretum (or the newly named Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens - not our preferred name!) riding to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. Look out for Troop Aid UK who will have some our leaflets and postcards available. Ride safe. Ride together. We will remember them. π¬π§ Picture taken at the 2025 Birmingham International Tattoo #RideToTheWall

We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Mayor of Solihull and their staff plus the local MP Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst MP, an Army veteran himself, plus all the staff
