Sjt Sebastian Yaseen emerged as winner of the Cutler’s Sword following a close-run contest in which buglers, drummers and flautists battled it out across a series of military and musical challenges.
Sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Cutlers, the annual competition sees troops demonstrate their fitness and marksmanship skills, before completing solo recitals and sight-reading tests with their instruments. Their ceremonial turnout is also scrutinised.
Sjt Yaseen, who has since taken over as his battalion’s bugle major, was presented with his prize – an engraved sword – during the Lord Mayor’s Show in London.
