Wow, maybe you will be able to see yourself in the footage!
It must've been quite a service for a 5-star officer.
Was there a gun salute, or is that only reserved for the head of state and government?
Were you doing a rifle march?

It was a momentous and honorable affair to have attended, nebula , i have seen the footage once on tv , when we got back to barracks , it was members of B;Sqd and A Sqd 1RTR who were on the parade along with other regiments (i cant remember which ones , guards etc ) B,sqd were the last in line of march , i was 3rd from the end right hand file as its looked at , we were trailing SMG (which was our personel weapon ) and slow marching , i dont remember any gun salute ? memories not what it was which is why i wanted to see the footage again :(

What a small world -- I was on that parade/march too, in A Sqn 1RTR
The other unit was from the Parachute Regiment, but I don't know which battalion
There were no Guards on the march so far as I remember. There might have been some at the funeral service proper, but that was much less public, and we didn't see it
Nice to "see" you, btw
Yes it was B, and A , while C was in hong kong , and some of the reg was on the forward party to Herford , whats your name Karhu , and , how did you stumble into this site , if you are X 1RTR they have a site of their own , if you aint seen it yet just google it , it will be easy found .

You have a PM, btw
Got it John ,, yes thats the one i mean , whats your surname then ??
