It is with great sadness that I have to inform members that Mr Philip Thomas McDade, late KOYLI, and LI died on 25 May 2023 aged 75.


Our thoughts and condolences at the sad time are with Philip's family and friends.

As the bugle sounds 'No More Parades' and you take your place in the FRV,

your duty done with honour and distinction.

Rest in Peace Philip.
