AIRMEN packed a church to say farewell to their old squadron standard.
The old standard of Leeming-based 34 Sqn RAF Regiment has been replaced by a new one which will last for the next 25 years.
The entire squadron attended a service at St Anne's Church, Catterick, to commemorate the laying up of the old standard.
Flying Officer Ross Glendinning, Sgt Ian Bramley and Sgt Dave Norton paraded the standard for the last time.
And it was then formally handed over by the unit commander, Sqn Ldr Nick Smith, to the Rev James Stewart, vicar of St Anne's and the adjoining RAF Regiment Chapel.
Among those attending the service were not only the serving members of the squadron but also a number of their 'old boys.'
