"We were lucky in some respects that they kept Leicestershire in the name for a while as other regiments lost their county name straight away.
"It was a difficult decision at the time and was very sad. But its a fantastic honour for them now.
"Having been in the regiment when it was formed, it will be a proud moment for me now being a councillor of the Borough that has given them freedom of entry.
Cllr Brown has nothing but admiration for the Royal Anglians current batch of troops, who have served in Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq in the last 15 years.
"Times have changed and active service is very different now, added Cllr Brown, who served in Aden, Malta and Bahrain during his nine years service.
"Its very difficult for young people but youve got to be proud of the lads " they do a fantastic job.
"When you look back on your army days, you realise what a big part of your life it was. It was an interesting time of my life and I had good times and bad times.
"But when I look back at the old photos, there are a lot of laughs there. Im looking forward to meeting some old friends when the parade takes place.
"Its going to be a very proud moment.
