Commandos Get Their Kit Off for Harbour Plunge on Barbican

5 July 2026

The Barbican was filled with familiar faces on Saturday as around 30 former Commandos gathered for a reunion.

Wearing matching green polo shirts featuring a Commando dagger emblem and “Commando Reunion 2026”, the group spent the afternoon catching up over drinks and enjoying the sunshine on the waterfront.

The reunion was full of laughter and good spirits, with one memorable moment seeing four of the former Commandos strip down to their underwear before jumping from the harbour wall into the sea together, prompting plenty of laughs from their fellow Commandos.

It was another lively scene on the Barbican as old friends caught up and made the most of a warm summer’s day in Plymouth.
