A military band made up from The Rifles and The Adjutant General's Corp marched to the Great Hall for a flag raising ceremony, which was inspected by Dame Mary Fagan, Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire.
As well as Steve Brine, Winchester Ernie Jeffs attended, alongside children from Westgate, Kings and Henry Beaufort, as well as Harestock, Weeke, St Bede and St Peter's primary schools.
Dame Mary said: "As we continue to celebrate the commitment of Her Majesty The Queen during the 60th anniversary of her coronation, we can also remember the commitment of all who serve in the regular forces and the reservists.
"Many of them will serve abroad and many will be in personal danger. They are highly trained professional men and women, whose courage we honour today."
Group Captain Paul O'Neill, of Worthy Down barracks, who was overseeing the parade, added: "When you go away on operations and you are putting your life on the line for your country, it's really important to know that society supports you and will look after your family when you leave them behind."
Steve Brine said: "You could be forgiven for thinking a ceremony such as this was an old tradition, but it is actually quite new and modern. It is great to have this here, especially with our tripartite service history, and it was a real honour to take part."
