Don,t know if it,s just me getting old but I watched trooping the colour this morning and it looked as if they had dressed some Ghurkas in guards uniform and put them on parade , when I was serving guardsmen were all over 6FT tall!!! and another thing their dressing on parade was shocking, not the wooden tops of old
