As a pallbearer and a participant in a funeral ceremony for an honored friend of mine, I wore both the dirk and a saber during a funeral in a Catholic church in the United States, specifically, Danville, Virginia. During "Present, Arms," I and another former soldier drew our sabers and honors and flourishes were performed, then we sheathed our sabers and swords, and continued with the ceremony. Our laws and traditions are VERY different from those of the U.K. and I ask that you not violate the laws of your locality. That being said, the family of our deceased friend was appreciative of the honors rendered. Airborne, All the Way!
