Freedom of the Town bestowed on 280 (NATO) Signals Squadron

Wimborne was the backdrop for a historic ceremony to honour the 280 (NATO) Signals with the prestigious ‘Freedom of the Town’ bestowed on the squadron. 

The event featured a grand parade with music from the Band of the Grenadier Guards leading as the squadron marched proudly through the town on Saturday 22nd March, accompanied by representatives from Wimborne’s Royal British Legion.  Three Chelsea pensioners also attended the ceremony. 

This award is in recognition of the squadron’s exceptional contribution and military service. Mayor of Wimborne, Councillor Jeff Hart presented the honour, which was formally received by Major Will Higgins, Officer Commanding of 280 (NATO) Signal Squadron.

Mayor of Wimborne Jeff Hart said: “This is such an honour to bestow the ‘Freedom of the Town’ upon the 280 (NATO) Signal Squadron. This historic moment is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices made by the squadron in serving both our country and NATO.”
