Thank you Delvin, without you we don't know any marches made by the British!

[@emstirling-is4nu]

They make a great impression just marching. We don't see that much of them as they are constantly on duty. Tks to all who participated - great job, well done.

[@SugarWildflower-si4ox]

They are all outstanding musicians as well as physically fit. Appearing very smart and disciplined. What a sight. 💕🇬🇧 Royal Marines cut above the rest in fighting and ceremonially.

Now 26yrs later we may further celebrate the accomplishment and courage displayed from those responding during the 1998 battles. History may yet affirm and reveal the aspects that civilized nations banding together after the two world wars and the outcry from the People to address the horrors from the tides of war. Today, 26yrs later we may recall the partial return of 5600 of the 19600 English combat troops from the eastern 'front' from a global conflict and not the third world war intended by the confusion and mayhem the massed forces of militant guerilla gunmen sought at the pool onsets of the battles of 1998. The beloved British Queen, Elizabeth the second would ponder her pledges to guide her People and nation on her inaugural pledges. London and empirical vassals-subjects visiting London would demonstrate an outpouring of heartfelt sentiments as they marched back towards the barracks. Hurrah those men of Courage and the milestones in VICTORIES understood bringing an otherwise world war, the third, to simple global conflicts.
