IN AN awards ceremony held in Carmarthen, Flight Sergeant Carwyn Lloyd-Jones of 561 (Ardwyn, Aberystwyth & District) Squadron RAF Air Cadets, was chosen as one of five cadets from Dyfed to be a Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet.

Carwyn, a pupil of Ysgol Penglais school, was presented with his badge of office by the Lord Lieutenant for Dyfed Sara Edwards.

Carwyn will now assist the Lord Lieutenant in her duties for the next 12 months and will be attending events throughout Dyfed, including royal visits and civic ceremonies.

Squadron Commander Sgt Eifion Parry said: “Nominating Flt Sgt Lloyd-Jones was a privilege and seeing him presented with his badge of office was an honour.

"He is such a hardworking, pleasant and polite member of the squadron and is liked by everyone. He works hard to help the younger cadets and share the knowledge he has gained over the 4 years he has been a cadet.

“Carwyn also works hard within the community, regularly helping at Hafan yr Waun, by giving up his time to talk with the residents.

"Whenever the cadets are involved in collecting for the Royal British Legion Poppy appeal (or other collections) Carwyn always gives up a large amount of time to do so and is constantly near the top of the cadet collectors."
