    The Army is all about tradition and the regiment is central to it all. The trooping the colour (in history) is all about showing the regiments colours (flag to us ) and this is very important to the regiment . What you have to remember is that the Army is all about regiments and they fight for the regiment firstly and queen and country second.

    If the tourists love it all the better we need the cash 🙂

    TtC: Outdated pointless ‘tradition’ much like most aspects of the Monarchy. Doesn’t serve society in any positive way, keeping hold of it. Time to get rid. No need to waste money on fancy uniforms and crap when soldiers in the field can’t even get kit that works properly….

    As normal i will ignore the op comments as he loves the attention however state occasions such as trooping remain the envy of every other nation, even the usa cannot match the quality, precision, dignity and humility of a British State occasion and they have tried.Long may they continue.

    I thought it was ace and so did my two boys. Stirring music, pageantry, colour, the Queen, Kate, bearskins, red tunics etc. Hats off to each and every one for a brilliant spectacle that two little boys and one grown up thoroughly enjoyed 🙂

    Some people like a connection to the past and perhaps where they come from. Perhaps you don’t celebrate any festivals, religious occasions, high days or holiday. Many people do and some of them like that they came from some time that was before their own. If your way was undertaken, we’d have little in the way of culture, history or a sense of where we as a nation came from – quite bereft of many interesting things. Your comments on military equipment are slightly dated to say the least.

    I was talking about scrapping the TtC, not destroying all culture. Typical over-reaction from the hard of thinking… 🙄

    Such ‘traditional’ military parades are little more than an attempt to gloss over the reality of war. Shiny buttons not mud, blood and guts.

    Why not have all those heroes who’ve lost limbs etc, in the parade? Y’know, those brave people who’ve sacrificed their mobility for Queen and Country?

    Or maybe they’d look a bit ‘unsightly’, and scare the tourists?

    Many injured troops attend All state functions fred, the rememberence parade is for that reason. Fred, do some military service then comment about it, please do not assume anything about what you have no knowledge of, humility and respect not negativity and ignorance please.

    No, no … they are meant to put maggots in their place. Crush them like jelly. Let their guts spill out like strawberry jam.

    Why not have all those heroes who’ve lost limbs etc, in the parade? Y’know, those brave people who’ve sacrificed their mobility for Queen and Country?

    They have all happily retired and shall never be forgotten … in the meantime the able bodied will step on those maggots.

    Or maybe they’d look a bit ‘unsightly’, and scare the tourists?

    Nothing “unsightly” of but able bodied is better at stepping on those maggots.

    You should bow down then lay your body to be stepped on. All those who wish to gain independence from Dear Leader should be crushed like jelly … nuking is better.

    Your logic did not appear to be specific to this – more a broadside against anything you did not give value to:

    Outdated pointless ‘tradition’ much like most aspects of the Monarchy. Doesn’t serve society in any positive way, keeping hold of it. Time to get rid.

    If you don’t mean to be so generic, don’t write such open statements.

    Such ‘traditional’ military parades are little more than an attempt to gloss over the reality of war.

    No they are not. They are parades with meaning that goes way back – your lack of knowledge gives rise to your bombastic statements.

    Shiny buttons not mud, blood and guts.

    Why not have all those heroes who’ve lost limbs etc, in the parade? Y’know, those brave people who’ve sacrificed their mobility for Queen and Country?

    It is not and never was a military reenactment – it is a parade. It is part of the military tradition. Other parades are available etc.

    Fred, do some military service

    No thanks. I’m a bit old now anyway. Don’t think they’d have me. 😀

    You speak of ‘humility’ in reference to the Monarchy? I suggest you go find out what the word actually means.

    And you call me ‘ignorant’?

    No they are not. They are parades with meaning that goes way back – your lack of knowledge gives rise to your bombastic statements.

    Trooping regimental colours was something done so’s certain regiments could be recognised on a battlefield. No longer necessary as we have clever technology and that now. So, TtC is completely redundant.

    Today’s military doesn’t fight in fancy uniforms with swords, does it? So, get rid. No need to continue wasting money. And don’t compare military parades with Culture please. Thanks.

    Fred you must be unhappy with All the uk has to offer, maybe you would prefer to reside in syria or libya for example they would give you something to moan about and you would achieve the attention you crave.

    D’oh! Should sound like this instead ” … able-bodied is better at stepping on those maggots enemies and all those that opposed to be stepped on”. My apology to all those injured heroes who have been / were wounded/killed by the maggots.

    Yes, nice looking “cabin” girls … good. Maggots to be stepped on by “cabin” girls. Maggots better lick those boots clean and say thank you.

    Maggots the human form = to be stepped on, nuked, as fertiliser, spare parts, waste of space … they are infestation and parasitic. Step on them. 👿
