Police cadets were among guests of honour at a service over the weekend.

The High Sheriff’s Justice Service in St Albans is held annually to recognise those who work or volunteer within law and order.

The cadets from St Albans and East Herts were invited to attend by High Sheriff Suzy Harvey.

Joining the cadets as fellow guests were Hertfordshire’s Chief Constable Charlie Hall, Police and Crime Commissioner David Lloyd, crown court judges, mayors and the Lord Lieutenant Robert Voss.

The cadets welcomed the guests before escorting the procession from St Albans Town Hall to the cathedral.

In addition, Millie Wyatt, head cadet for East Herts, had the privilege of being sword bearer to the High Sheriff.

Police cadets are youngsters, aged 13 to 18, who get involved in a range of activities.

As well as learning about police procedures and the law, cadets also work alongside officers to play a vital role in community events, engaging with members of the public and educating them on crime prevention.
