Coldstream Guards

The Band of the Coldstream Guards preparing to march on to the pitch at Twickenham for the England v Ireland rugby union international, a hard-fought encounter that England won 13-10.

The Irish came on strong at the start of both halves but England tackled well and gave little away. Mike Brown, England's full back, is getting better with every match. My pocket camera packed in during the match but seems to be working again now. George starts his sail race this weekend.
