A group I'm with has asked me to lay a wreath at the cenotaph in my community, on account of the fact that the veterans in the group are of ill-health and likely won't make it to the parade. As a wreath-layer, I will have to confirm whether or not I'm part of the parade or simply will already be at the cenotaph. I've been asked to do this in my DEUs, and my regiment has rather eagerly given me their blessing as they have their own agenda - I'm to be on a recruiting mission for the regiment. As such, I was given great tips on the recruiting aspect, but no one gave me any kind of instruction on lay the wreath.
So...what do I do? Other than the obvious - lay the wreath. Do I salute after laying it? Do I march up, lay it, about turn and march off? My community has no "official" military presence spare an air cadets squadron and a sea cadets...something. There will be one other serving member there that I'm aware of, and he is acting as the parade's chaplain.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
