A trip to Specsavers and 5 extra duties for the Ensign with the world's longest loose thread on his glove. Disgraceful !!

How did they manage to get their haircut during lockdown and social distancing.
I thought it went extremely well. Well done the Taffs. |

Marvellous photo opportunity using Windsor ............. in the sunshine it was superb. I suppose I have watched 80% pf Sovereign's Birthday Parades for 50 years. I think this ranks with the best [I can do without the horses .....]

Very good effort- Can't be easy slow marching on grass. I've not done modern arms drill but sounded like a double order after the final present that the troops covered well and The Queen looked to notice a problem with The Colour at the march off resulting in the Ensign changing step.
A few weeks ago some of them may have been at a mobile Covid test unit I visited. The Household Division have done their bit this year. Regards, Paul. |

Agreed, I thought it was very good, under the circumstances and I hope HM enjoyed it as much as I did.

It was well done.
I do have to say that many of those "Bearskins" look a bit....well I don't know. I believe they are no longer genuine fur, but the ones worn years ago certainly appeared better. CB

Synthetic fur from a synthetic bear
Not sure if they come in Male and Female versions |

Her Majesty was wearing an example of a Welsh Guards brooch, I wonder what the particular manufacture and provenance is, I dare say it would have been a high end example.

Diamond studded, I believe - I've read of it somewhere in the past, can't remember the details.

Do you think in platinum or white gold perhaps?

A quick Google indicates that the WG brooch was worn rather than the usual brooch representing all of the Guards regiments, presumably because 1 WG were the only guard.
Tho' I noted CG and IG musicians present. |

Platinum and diamond apparently.
