Watching the Trooping of the Colour for the Queen's anniversary.

Nobody does pomp like the British. That aside I remember when as a young second lieutenant I was given the honor of being the colour escort in a Canadian version of the Trooping of the Colour. It remains a deep honour to be the colour escort during the Trooping Ceremony. It is a once in a lifetime event. Too bad the Lt Gov showed up drunk to take the salute.
