Thursday 15/6/06 - Beating Retreat

Thursday evening found myself, Kate, Hope and David sitting in the sunshine on Horseguards watching the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines "Beating Retreat".

Was great fun, you can't go wrong with Monarchy*, Music and Militarism.

*Prince Philip too the Salute as Captain-General of the Royal Marines. HMQ watched it all from the window of Wellington's Office.

Then we went on for Dinner at the NLC and then Simon's birthday bash on the Tattershall Castle.
