On Thursday, 12 September 2024, the Evensong Service at Liverpool Cathedral included the Turning of the Leaves of the King’s Regiment and the Presentation of the Ceremonial Sword of Captain Noel Godfrey Chavasse VC and Bar MC. Liverpool College was represented by the Principal, Mrs Alison Haynes and the Senior Vice Principal, Mrs Hannah Cassidy, along with other members of the school leadership team, as well as the Head Boy (George W) and Head Girl (Hannah S), the SSI of the Liverpool College CCF, and also by members of the Old Lerpoolian Society.

In The Liverpool Anglican Cathedral there are three books containing the names of those who died in the service of The King's Regiment in each of the two world wars and in post war conflicts particularly in Korea, Northern Ireland, Iraq & Afghanistan.

These books are permanently open for visitors to the Cathedral to see. Four times each year as part of the Evensong Service the pages or leaves of each book are turned. The Regiment is represented by the Liverpool Branch of the King's Regiment Association

The service starts at 5.30pm and is always held on a Thursday. Once the service is over at about 6pm those attending usually inspect the three books before leaving the cathedral. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The sword is the property of the Chavasse family, who, for many years, allowed it to be held on loan by 208 Field Hospital Royal Army Medical Corps. Last year, that unit was re-designated as a Squadron of 206 Multi-Role Medical Regiment RAMC. The terms of the family's loan provided that in such an event, the sword should be placed into the care of Liverpool Cathedral.

The Liverpool Scottish Regimental Association was responsible for the organisation of the ceremony and was well represented by many of its members in the congregation. The service contained all the hallmarks of military ceremony. At the heart of it, the leaves of the Memorial Books of the King’s Regiment were turned, and the ceremonial sword and other related family artefacts were duly presented to the Cathedral for safekeeping. It was a moving service, at no time more so than when a lone piper marched slowly down the centre aisle as he played The Lament.

At the conclusion, a pipe band played.
