change the guard at buckingham palace

[Captain Kong]

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..

##8 sadly your facts are wrong
Royal Navy sailors set for a historic first as they guard the Queen - The News
They are not from one single ship

As always I stand to be corrected, it was info gleaned from a News Report early this morning

[Keith at Tregenna]

Eighty-six sailors from 45 Royal Navy ships and establishments spent a month preparing ahead of the first ceremony on Sunday morning.

A lot of the pictures they showed did have sailors with the cat banned from HMS Queen Elizabeth so I think there are using library pictures again very confusing because I got the same impression and it's only when I listened to the news later. Explain the background

On a note regarding the British services, I heard today that there is to be a severe reduction in the number of military bands.

Too much music I wonder?

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

[robpage]

are you sure it was down with Alice , I remember a slightly different version

[j.sabourn]

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.
