Royal Marines Beating Retreat

[MCPWilk]

This year is the 350th Anniversary of the Royal Marines. The massed bands gave their usual incomparable performance last night. The salute was taken by Prince Philip, who was accompanied to Horse Guards by HM the Queen - a long day for them both after the State Opening of Parliament.

Time for Graham to produce a 200mm drummer to go with his drum major (http://www.cgsmilitaryfigures.co.uk...1-200mm-Drum-Major-HM-Royal-Marines/3745919)? A Royal Marine, RSM and officer would look good as well. There were plenty of them around last night!

Cheers for posting Mike, it was Wiggys last engagement also, the Corps Drum Major after 34 years. The lads kept me updated
