John I'm pretty sure it is Majesty on the left, at least it matches my picture of him. Thanks for the great video, look forward to seeing more of Tristan in part 2.

I’ve pushed the like button on so many of your vids and Subscribed. Aussie here. The gates finally opened. Not as crowded today. My sister is heading of to England in a few months, but said London looks far too crowded and busy for her, She’s going over doing more of family history. Walking the streets where our great grandfather and his parents lived. My grandmother was a first generation Australian. My girlfriend and her husband go England every 2 years, then visit their son who now lives in Germany. Because it’s small compared to Aus, they visit other countries as well. Last year was France. I get wonderful gifts bought home from them every year. I remember my first gift, a small statue of Queen Elizabeth, solar powered and she waves at me - I love it. Keep up the great interesting videos and if you can, say hello to a few of those beautiful horses from me😊

[@geliconner9669]

The first horse on the right is Carlo, his number is three digits off from Isengard, who has no socks.

John, did you know that Sefton who suffered in the terrible explosion years ago but recovered Sefton passed away peacefully at The Horse Trust on 9th July 1993 aged 30 and was taken to the DATR at Melton Mowbray to be laid to rest. His hoof is in the Horse Guards Museum. What a great age for this Blues and Royals beloved horse after being caught up in such a tragedy.

[@helenhallwood3580]

Cathyb46, Sefton and Echo were retired to Speen in Bucks. I saw them many times , very fond memories

The trooper riding Sefton, Michael Pedersen, had a horrific life story after the bombing which led to a dreadful family tragedy. The Horse Trust provide a wonderful home, not just for retired cavalry and police horses but also for neglected horses.

Trooper Simon Tipper 19 and married for about a month died during the bombing and is buried at Addison Road Cemetery Brierleyhill Dudley West Midlands.

Westminster school hasn’t been all boys since 1967. It’s becoming completely co-Ed in 2028. There are 11 houses in total, six of which have boarders as well as day pupils and all of which have a mix of boys and girls. Purcell's is a girls-only boarding house; College, Grant's, Rigaud's, Busby's and Liddell's are mixed boarding houses.

[@LondonCityWalks]

Girls are indeed permitted in the sixth form - as boys are permitted in the sixth form of the neighbouring Greycoat Hospital. But both schools remain, for the moment, single sex until 16+.
