06.01.2022 The granting of the `Freedom of Entry to a City' to a military unit is a ceremony that has very old origins. The early history of Europe shows that walled cities and trained soldiers protected citizens from death or capture by marauding armies. The right of entry to a city by outside soldiers was therefore rarely granted by authorities. When such grants were made, much ceremony was associated with the privilege, demonstrating the pride of the unit concerned, and the trust bes...towed by the citizens. Cities are no longer walled nor do they train their own armies. However, for geographical and other reasons, strong links are forged between Defence units and the cities where they are stationed. Today, a `Freedom of Entry' indicates the pride the local municipality has in its long associations with the Defence Base or unit involved, and is reflected in the traditional format of the `freedom' parade.
