Mark Nicholas, Managing Director of the RNAA has just announced this invitation to take part in the Young Diamonds Tribute.

The theme for this year’s Royal Norfolk Show is Young Achievers. The Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association encourages as many young people as possible to take part in the Show – through school visits and by joining the many young people’s organisations already planning to take part. As part of the Young Achievers theme a tribute to young people will take place at the Show on Thursday 27 June 2024. The Young Diamonds tribute, organised in partnership between the Norfolk Lieutenancy and the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, seeks to gather nominated young people, between the ages of 8-23, from across the county to take part.

The tribute will involve the assembled Young Diamonds taking part in a massed gathering in the Show’s Grand Ring where they will be addressed by HM Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, The Lady Dannatt MBE. The aim of the tribute is to highlight the many individual and collective achievements of young people, whether they be a young carer, have achieved something at the highest level or have added value to their community.

We wish to say thank you to those young people who do so much for our communities and good causes and to acknowledge their example in a high-profile setting. Nominated Young Diamonds will receive a complimentary ticket (including free car parking, if required) to the Royal Norfolk Show for Thursday 27 June 2024.

I am writing to invite you to nominate a young person(s) to take part in the Young Diamonds Tribute. Individuals may be nominated by a parent/carer. Organisations may nominate up to two people. If your organisation has more than one division/branch, please do make further nominations as appropriate. Nominees will receive a complimentary ticket (including free car parking, if required) to the Royal Norfolk Show. For each young person nominated a Show admission ticket will also be made available for one parent/carer. Nominations can be made here and must be submitted by Sunday 2 June 2024.’
