The Commanding Officer of 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines has taken the salute at HMS Raleigh’s first passing-out-parade of the year.

Brigadier Gwyn Jenkins was the guest of honour for the parade, which marked the successful completion of training for 47 Royal Navy ratings, comprising of 23 budding engineers, 11 warfare specialists, three naval airmen, one chef and one medical assistant.

They were watched by their families and friends and are now ready to progress on to their professional branch training in preparation for taking their place at sea.
