hirmiestelio Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Trying to figure out what these two service women are who were seen at the entrance to Westminster Abbey during the Queen's Funeral yesterday. The uniforms look really like WWII uniforms, and we've been trying to ID them. Anybody know what these are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry37 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) There was a contingent or about 25 FANY members who worked during the days following the Queens passing. I suspect they served in communications as that is one of their primary functions in times of emergencies. The white stripe on their shoulder is a light blue-gray with the letters FANY in ruby.

paul wood Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Interestingly they share the HQ with the London Scottish (or vice-versa). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
