I wonder why the King, the Queens Dad, wasn’t riding, perhaps he was too ill, I know he had a lung operation for lung cancer. And I also noticed that the guardsman have bayonets on the end😮 of their guns, and they were all the same size in height and all the same weight. This video is 82 years old I wonder if they have still the same clothes and bearskins. I know they look after their clothes and everything else in immaculate condition.
