With Halloween arriving tonight, the UK Garrison Imperial Scottish Squad spent some time at the Glasgow Science Centre Halloween Weekend.

Thankfully we had enough troops to keep the pesky Rebels at bay over the weekend but they were equally responsible for smiles, selfies and many high-fives.  It was great seeing so many people dressed up for this annual event. Thank you to The Rebel Legion UK for helping us support a worthy charity event. Looking forward to next year.

Today the Imperial Scottish Squad said goodbye to our friend and fellow member of the legion Simon Brown, who sadly passed away on the 23rd October.

Simon was a member of the Rebel Legion who brought a lot smiles on faces with his Admiral Akbar, X-wing, and Boba Fett costumes. A Rebel at heart but a true Star Wars fan.

We’ve known Simon for a number of years along with his partner Shona. We shared plenty of good memories and we know he will be looking upon us when we’re attending events across Scotland.

We must not forget why we do this, family and friendship are the core values of our organisations.

We will miss you Simon. You are now one with the Force.

During a recent visit to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, UK Garrison Troopers brought smiles to staff and patients.

Trooping with friends today at The British Film Institute for The Rise of Skywalker showing for Industrial Light and Magic staff and family.

Members of the Imperial Welsh Squad made a trip to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital on Thursday to spread a little Christmas cheer.

Thanks to the staff and patients for letting us visit the Paediatrics ward.

Yes it’s true the secret is out. The UK Garrison had the privilege of not only attending the European premier of the Rise of Skywalker, but troopers also paraded on the blue carpet, as well as entertained the fans and guests attending the Premier in London’s Leicester Square tonight

The online news site, The HUFFPOST.COM has just published a compelling personal story by our Commanding Officer, Gary Hailes.

Gary explains how it all started and the reasons why he dedicates so much time and effort at being a Stormtrooper.
