RETIREDFAN1 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I was impressed by the service in Westminster Abbey and the march from there to Wellington Arch where they finally got into a hearse....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If you like the color red, don’t miss this. Those British Dress Uniforms are bright enough red to intimidate the enemy, lol. I am impressed with the strength of their neck muscles. Have to be strong to hold up those big black headdresses. Several look like the “hats” have come down over their eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 As I’ve posted before, I’m not a big fan of British royalty. She’s the exception. Imo she’s the last of British Royalty. The King, and the rest of the family are given the titles. She earned hers. The remainder will never “walk the walk”. While she was a monarch of/for the people, the rest are “untouchables”, or as I believe, have a better than thou attitude. We’ll never see her like again. RIP Queen Elizabeth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward, Edward, Rich the third, Henry, Henry, Ed again, Mary one, good Queen Bess, Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria, George, George, George, George, Will, Victoria, Edward, George, Edward, George six And Queen Liz two completes the mix At least for Hagar. Now they need to re-do that song to add Charles III. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that all the time in the military. Lock your knees . Then tunnel vision starts and then you pass out shortly after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
