Trooping of the Colour





It is day's like today, I feel proud to be British, watching the Trooping of the Colour ceremony on TV and hearing the Guys 8 weeks ago were actually on active service in Afghanistan and here they are today on parade in front of the Queen.Well done young men, you are a fantastic example to everyone but especially your generation we we hear so much bad press about the youth of today.

It is also great to see so many women know part of what was once totally dominated by men, keep up the good work girls, I personally believe there are some jobs ordinary women cannot do (there are always exceptions to the rule) but women have proved that they can also play a very important role in the defence of the realm.

It was also refreshing to see more coloured personnel in the guards and household division once again after years of being part of the elite and with as usual many people quick to jump on the bandwagon of immigrants in the UK, it is a great reminder how the UK is loyally served by many nationalities from the commonwealth, 4 brothers from I think from Gambia having some part in the proceedings.

This is why 'Help for Heroes' was chosen as one of the deserving dozen charities I will participate in this endeavor and with you help raise money for them.



Finally I have to mention the horses the drum carriers carrying the rank of Major and one is 23 years old, brilliant.
