Well done to Troop 1/20 who played A Life On The Ocean Wave for the first time as a marching band this morning. They still have a long way to go - but a very important milestone in their new careers! Keep up the hard work!
Congratulations to Bugler Bronagh Gibb who last night became the first Royal Marine to play RN Senior Women’s Rugby. Coming on as a 2nd half substitute in a 19-19 draw against Havant Ladies, she made an impressive debut. BZ @RMBandService@HMNBPortsmouth@RNRugby
