I've got plenty more, but here's a couple of photos... The Red Arrows, and the reaction to it.

Don't particularly have one, I just find most things Royals related to be an absolute bore.
Everyone of your bleating posts makes me feel pity and depressed for you.

I was very very proud to watch the Trooping the colour on TV. Very proud of our monarchy and heritage.

If nothing else it's just bloody nice that we can still show a bit of national pride and good cheer in the midst of what is a pretty bleak time for alot of people.

I concur. Only a deep seated insecurity can motivate one to seek out a thread on a topic they have no interest in, then voice their dissent.

Love the royals, good luck to them.

We're brilliant at hypocrisy too. In a country where public opinion appears to be against the wealthy, thousands come out to wave flags for the richest family in Europe.

Odd - I didn't see any of the Dutch Royal Family there....

As much as I like the battle of Britain memorial flight it was quite refreshing to see a flypast without them. Maybe it is time to move on and look forwards?

He appears to be as misinformed about most matters he discusses on this forum - not just the royals. A chip on his shoulder of genuinely staggering proportions.

I was amazed at "The Iron Duke" by the Queen`s side standing for most of the time in full uniform.Just how long can he keep this up with his various health issues? I take my hat off to the old buffer and as for the Queen,its all been said over and over.
Also lets just remember all those on parade.It must have taken weeks and weeks of drill,massive army bull,total perfection,British Army at its best.Next week most of them will be next to IED`s,ducking Taliban snipers and living in dust and crap.

Next year they will be claiming job seekers allowance.

BTW: Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington is generally accepted as being the 'Iron Duke'. Soon his battalion the Yorkshire Regiment will be for the chop too.

Finding the Royals boring is bleating now is it?
