A Royal Moment to Remember 👑

Being a Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet is a special role for an Air Cadet, giving them the opportunity to present their local community at civic and ceremonial occasions, supporting their Lord Lieutenant at official engagements, following being nominated for the role.

For FS Anderson Scott of 102 (Aberdeen Airport) Squadron Air Training Corps, his first engagement as Lord Lieutenant's Cadet for Aberdeen City was certainly one he won't be forgetting anytime soon!

FS Scott was greeted with a royal surprise when he arrived for his first engagement since taking on the role in June, as he wasn't told he would be meeting His Majesty The King until the day itself.

As The King arrived at Marischal Square during his visit to Aberdeen, Anderson greeted him with a salute alongside Deputy Lieutenant, Ian Ord. He then stood guard while His Majesty visited the new Great British Energy office, before saluting him again as he departed.

Anderson was also able to have a brief conversation with The King, who asked how much he was enjoying his time in the Air Cadets and how his role as Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet had been going.

FS Scott said: “Meeting His Majesty has been the highlight of my cadet career so far. Although it was brief, it is an experience I will never forget and one that I am extremely grateful to have had."

From representing local communities to meeting members of the Royal Family, being a Lord Lieutenant's Cadet gives our Air Cadets the opportunity to experience moments that they'll remember for years to come.

Well done, FS Scott! What a way to kick of your LLC term! Thank you for being an excellent ambassador for the Air Cadets 🙌
