BBC said they were from several Ships and Shore Establishments. so I guess they may have picked the best ones from each one to be in the guard..

Re.. changing the guard. Anyone remember the nursery Rhyme “ Their changing the guard at Buckingham Palace, Christopher Robin went down with Alice”. Bet Marian knows all the words. JS
are you sure it was down with Alice , I remember a slightly different version
ROB am going back 75 years. Could be anything. No doubt has been altered to suit. However am trying to appear not too uncivilised . JS.
Why ?Quote:
