Things Have Come To A Pretty Pass.

Johnny Foreigner mounting guard to protect the embodiment of all we hold dear, the Royals.

And they're republicans.  What's the world coming to?

[retrocop]

No idea what you are on about. Just as an aside. The Brigade of Ghurkas have changed the Guard at BP many times. They even let the Irish Guards do it as well.

[Peter Pedant]

Edouard sept ( Edward VII in french)  said " we are all socialists now" 1906

seems to cover it. and there is a cohort of Guards doing the same thing for Sharl trwa at the  Elysee Palace.

 

[Peter Pedant]

then dont post- chrssakes

some republican guard are changing at the palace

and some of the Guards regiment are doing ditto at the Elysee Palace - today !  in memory of the entente cordiale.

( Edward VIII - fat boy was tremendously popular en France and even on one visit had them shout - vive le  roi! according to  hacks at that time)

[youngmafbog]

Well all down to "Entente Cordiale".

Our Guards will also be doing Versailles as I understand it.

Personally I dont things have ever been the same since Agincourt with them Frenchies.

French soldiers guarding the Palace, TTT.

[Canary42]

Stop knocking the French - we have had world-beating results when combining (e.g. Channel Tunnel, Concorde).
