My young one took a great deal of interest in the uniforms today. She has only seen one blue suit in her life and seeing so many on the TV made something click in her head.
So very proud of all the boys and girls today, of all stripes. They did Her Majesty and all of us proud.
Particular shoutout to the QCS lad at Windsor who got his world rocked by a horse tail earlier.
Shows what happens when a large organisation has an Op London Bridge folder on a server with laid out plans and agreement from the Palace on the SOP to open and act upon within an hour of the news breaking
I did see in the Twitter tweet that the CCF had HM the Queen as their colonel-General hence their involvement. As such, perfectly fair for them to take part.
You’d have thought that her TEST SNCO would have done a drill and uniform check prior to the event though. To me this is a failure on their part rather than the officer who may not wear No1s otherwise.
Maybe we can avoid criticising someone in public who:

B) Was probably doing the best they could, given the circumstances.
I posted that picture to show there was a cadet presence. I’m sorry the direction it’s turned. In hindsight, I should have left alone. I am sorry for that.
Maybe that should be the case now. The thread has run its course.
This is slightly off topic, but only just, & still relevant & related.
When King George VI passed away, what was the ATC response then?
Appreciate we were exactly 9 years old then but just wondering if there are any photos or film of the Corps back then & how the organisation marked things…
