Duchess joins DecAid march

CAMILLA, The Duchess of Rothesay, is to attend a massed pipes and drums parade in Edinburgh on June 26.

She will attend the DecAid Appeal parade as the organisation's royal patron. DecAid is a national appeal which aims to raise funds for three service charities - Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association, the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen Association and Talking 2 Minds.

The parade, part of the Armed Forces Day celebrations, will pass down the Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Park.

Other events include a fair held in Holyrood Park, a British Military Fitness session, a Battle of the Bands and an assault course. There will also be the opportunity to join graduates from SELEX Galileo and help them cycle 400 miles on static bikes.
