Military Graduation Parade In Harrogate

HARROGATE, ENGLAND - AUGUST 15: Major General Tim Radford DSO OBE speaks with one of the soldiers responsible for the training of Junior soldiers at a graduation parade on August 15, 2013 in Harrogate, England. The Army Foundation College in Harrogate opened in 1998 and provides training for soldiers destined for all the Army's career paths and provides training for 1344 junior soldiers. During their time at the college the students are taught basic military skills and can achieve vocational qualifications, City and Guilds apprenticeships and take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. The graduation parade is the largest in Europe and is only exceeded in size by the Trooping of the Colour in London. Following the parade the students will go on for further specialist training before finally joining their units and moving forward with their military careers. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)
