Because of the outrage it would cause, because if Harry was allowed to wear his, they’d have to allow the Nonce to wear his. They could easily have bent he rules if it weren't for the nonce I would have made Andrew wear the thickest and heaviest army uniform I could find and made him carry the coffin. Let's see who can't sweat. 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a wonderful show. The outfits, the organisation, music etc. We certainly excel in all this. I bet its been a nightmare for the counter terrorism police with all the word leaders in one place, at such short notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps behind closed doors they let it all out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Follyfoot Posted September 19, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Cracking day at the Legion so far, they have put on a good spread, a lot of the old boys in full uniform citing their memories of the Queen. Fascinating to hear and listen to these people and their life experiences. Feels very right and very fitting I’m glad I made the effort Would not recommend to 90% of the people who have posted on this thread Edited September 19, 2022 by Follyfoot 11 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post S-Platt Posted September 19, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's a big advert for people to visit the UK to see all this in person. Impressive even if you are not a Royalist. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's a good job none of our warships are working. 72 Navy Ratings must account for about 1/4 of the Navy's total manpower these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great place to visit but would never live there! You could always commute to Central London from elsewhere though as accommodation can be expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Now that the main event is apparently over (I'm just guessing on timings and the fact that normal noise levels outside have begun to return), I suppose we just have to suffer all of the post match analysis, continued fawning and oleaginous deference for a few more weeks. Let's hope we get a reasonable break before the bloody coronation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
