RIP----MAJ LANE

From: "Paul Stretton" View contact detailsTo: "Paul Stretton" Dear Member of The Blues and Royals Association,

I must sadly report the passing of 496966 Major Brian (“Bronco”) LANE who died yesterday afternoon (10 November 2009) at Frimley Park Hospital aged 76 years, he had bravely been fighting cancer for some time. Brian Lane served between December 1949 - October 1986, initially with the Grenadier Guards and then The Blues and Royals where he achieved a Late Entry Commission. Those who met him, I’m sure will agree, that a more professional, imposing and passionate soldier, Warrant Officer and Commissioned Officer, you could not find. The thoughts and condolences of the Association go to his wife, daughters, family and friends at this difficult time. Funeral details will be released when known.

THE BLUES AND ROYALS REGIMENTAL COLLECT

O Lord Jesus Christ who by the Holy Apostle has called us to put on the armour of God and to take the sword of the spirit, give thy grace we pray thee, to the Blues and Royals that we may fight manfully under thy banner against all evil, and waiting on thee to renew our strength, may mount up with wings as eagles, in thy name, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
