Me and the Queen.

I'm not a huge royalist, nor am I a militarist. However I did like seeing the professional turn out and a nice bit of precision square bashing.

I also liked walking up the road, standing in a patch of grass and knowing that the only thing between me and the symbolic head of our nation was fresh air. No bullet proof glass, or ID checks at the gate.

Here the new 'colours' are all set out waiting to be blessed, whilst the Queen has a quick inspection of the troops.

Folk stood up when they played the national anthem.

Altogether a good afternoon's entertainment.
