Well said. Harry was a class act here last summer with the Invictus Games. I was bored silly with the nuptials but Harry is deserving of praise in how he conducts himself.
I was in Cassino on Fri and bumped into the Polish service in their cemetery. They did not spare the horses. Not a single British VIP in the British cemetery. Hope the turn out is better for the 75th Anniversary in 2019. I was on Monte Lungo on Thu and ran into the Italian-Polish commemorations at the Italian cemetery. It was as chaotic as only the Italians can do chaos but at least they bothered. Regards Frank
Yes it was a bit of a different reading and the faces of the Royal family whilst listening do not require interpretation.
I took a trip up to Astley Hall in Chorley have a look at the re-vamped Chorley Pals Museum... it was a glorious day so there was no way I was spending it indoors!
For what my opinion is worth, I thought it was splendid. Well worth the purported 65p per year each British taxpayer provides towards the cost of the monarchy. None of the supposed novelties or innovations jarred with tradition and the whole event was planned and choreographed to perfection. If only we would learn to play to our strengths--which include events such as these--tourism and business would boom. Locals in my neck o' the wood think it was magnificient and even congratulated me as if I had something to do with its success! Reminds me of being drunk in Latvia on the night the Queen mother died. We were offered a free drink by a local barman when he heard we were British--we opted for large G&Ts in her honour!
Oh no. He'll be hearing the same little voice that Rodney Dangerfield heard saying, "You'll be drinking early today!"
The Most Reverend Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the US Episcopal Church, said, "Study war no more". Right on, in any context.
Are they cavalry uniforms? I see they are wearing spurs. EDIT: Household Cavalry. Interesting reading.
Interesting to read how they build the characteristics of a coat of arms. Let's hope that the crown slipped around the Songbird's throat doesn't come to fruition.
