I've marched at the Cenotaph six times. Always behind us was a contingent from one of the Leander Class frigates. Several gentlemen of Caribbean background were part of, and fully integrated with, their shipmates. And were a merry lot to behold. And there were plenty of BAME paratroopers, marines... etc. etc.
This is the BBC trying to make a story out of a non-event. Like that chuffing idiot who - not on the BBC, but in a broadsheet - who tried to stir it up by saying that Gurkhas who fell at Gallipoli had been "deliberately" omitted from the British memorial. Except if he'd walked ALL THE WAY AROUND IT...
