Tony Noyes was born in Kingston-upon-Thames in 1939 and after leaving grammar school was apprenticed to be a Civil Engineer. He retired in 2005 after completing 50 years in the industry. He joined the WFA in its earliest days and soon joined the committee, serving as Branch Coordinator, Vice-Chairman and, later, Chairman. He believed his first duty as Chairman should be to organize the attendance of the Association and its members at the Cenotaph on November 11th and to restore the two minute silence at 11am. This would be followed by a Service of Remembrance at the Guards' Chapel. Held for the first time in 1994, this ceremony has struck a national chord and similar ceremonies are now held in many places across the UK.
After several years of leading the Cenotaph ceremony, he took over from Lt Col Graham Parker as Parade Marshall for the Poppy Parade at Ypres on November 11th, a position he held for several years.
He now looks forward to being of further service to the Association as a Vice-President. |
