An East Hampshire woman has followed in her parents’ footsteps by keeping up standards in their village’s Remembrance programme.

Scott Cormie and her daughter, Shannon, were both Standard Bearers when the Liss Royal British Legion (RBL) held its Remembrance Sunday service.

It was the first time the pair have marched alongside each other through the village, with their military family playing a big role in this year’s commemorations.

Scott, who retired from the army as a sergeant in 2014, paraded with his family as a veteran before becoming the branch’s Standard Bearer three years later.

So there was a proud family moment when he marched through the village alongside Shannon, as she was made Standard Bearer for the branch’s Women’s Section following its recent relaunch.

“We started parading with the RBL as a family on our return to the UK from Germany in 2010, and paraded in uniform until 2014 when I retired,” said Sgt Cormie Retired, who served in the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (REME).

“Shannon has always been proud of me doing my bit as a veteran for the RBL, as has all of my family.

“So when the Women's section reformed it wasn't a hard choice for the Branch or her to become the Women's section Standard Bearer.”

Scott joked the Cormies have a “family affair” with the branch as he’s also the interim treasurer for the Women’s section while Shannon is its secretary.

She’s following in the footsteps of her mum, Shelley, as the Poppy Appeal fund organiser was also Standard Bearer in the branch’s previous Women’s Section.

They’re a military family in every sense as one of Mr Cormie’s cousins died on HMS Hood, another went missing in action in The Falklands and a great uncle was a prisoner of war during the Second World War.
