    No-one does Ceremony, Tradition etc like the British. It's these Traditions that are the backbone of everything that makes Britain Great. Pride and Ceremony are truly marvellous. Thank You very much.

      China now does it far better, as a veteran of 34 years watching those lardy guts waddling along I'm embarrassed as to what we've become. Look at the drill of the ladies militia of the Beijing Institute of Fashion... Reserves, Territorials, student seamstresses! If you want to see drill.

    Here in the US our soldiers according to height and weight per individual are given a target weight that they're encouraged to maintain. They can't be overweight and be on active fury the exception are the officers. I know this because my close cousin had to be put on a diet and exercise routine for 6months until he was back under his weight target. He ended up packing on muscle instead. During that time he was removed from active duty and was returned to it wasn't he lost the weight . he was Navy though .

      @@Debbie-xs5em It's not exactly being rude to point out the fact that the Brits, at least some of them, are as pathetic as they are ridiculous, when it comes to this monarchy nonsense. Then too, from what I hear from the likes of Pierce Morgan, there are a lot of Brits that are a lot more fed up with whole outdated, obsolete monarchy nonsense than anyone else. Simply stated, it's time to put that ridiculous monarchy nonsense to rest, once and for all.
