Windsor Castle and Castle Without 
A few pictures from yesterday’s rehearsals are linked to their thumbnails below.
If you can correct any errors in my descriptions, do please tell me (thank you, Tomleecee), as I would prefer to receive advice than have these officers misrepresented.
No more time to continue this now, sorry, but I shall add another batch of photos from today’s State Visit as soon as possible.
(Click to see larger versions of these images. Don’t just squint at these thumbnails!)

Hi - some great photos there - I can see myself on one of the photos, Royal Navy, second row on the left when we were halted outside the big hotel on the high street! Thanks for putting these shots on the web, although if I’m being really picky, we’re not actually Royal Marines - just regular Royal Navy! Cheers!

Hi Rick G,
You guys were great! It appears that the press were more interested in photographing Sarkozy’s wife. With any luck, once the rest of my photos are online, people will realise there was a lot more to see than British Royalty, the French President and Carla Bruni.

Tomleecee,
Great pictures, I was on one of the horses. Would it be possible to send me copies of the pictures you took.
