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 I may disagree with your views on the Monarchy and on everything that's happened today and the last 2 weeks, but I'm genuinely glad that you were able to enjoy today with similar minded people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend taking the time to speak to the old veterans. I for one will certainly make more effort to do so after today. A real eye opener listening to the sacrifice and times they have lived through. A real part of what made Britain great. Bravo to them all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus were taking bets on whether the guard would walk round it or through it. 30 seconds of pure anticipation. ….and???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not implying you should, just a more general comment about it being something a lot of people would not consider but should as highly rewarding.

Genie Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I’m learning that it must have been a never ending struggle for the Queen to decide which royal castle or palace to spend which part of the year in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
