    I agree with you.

    I feel so lucky to have been able to have called her my boss and to have met her so many times in person.

    She was a remarkable lady, whose like we will never see again.

    Her duty is done. RiP Ma'am and Thank you...

    90% agree with you. Only fly in the ointment was her protection of that nonce son of hers.

    If you take away the Queen title, she is still a mother to that nonce.

    You can’t blame her for being his mother :eek:

    You can blame her for saying nothing, doing nothing, indulging him and not publicly disassociating herself from his abhorrent behaviour. That seems to have been left to Charles….

    As per the t-shirt a Marine used to wear at our camp, "You can make a Marine Royal, but you can't make a Royal a Marine"

    How many people have attempted to become Royal Marines and failed? Given that it is regarded as the toughest of all the military training courses with the lowest pass rate anywhere as much more knowledgeable military people have said, Fair play for trying and failing.

    Could you imagine getting your leathers on then finding the the half has beaten you to it and is getting her knee down on your bike. RIP God bless

    Having been a member of the Special Escort Group back in the day, I appreciate what a difficult but prestigious job it is, but its also dammed hard work and needs lots of practice.

    We did a lot of escort jobs because of Windsor, Royal Ascot, Henley Regatta, Windsor Horse show, Chequers and, and, and.....

    So I always watch the escort riders with a keen interest and I have to say that the lads and lasses both in Scotland and in London have done a magnificent job with lots more to do until Monday with all the dignitaries arriving in the country in readiness for the funeral on Monday.

    Anyway......... Watching the Queen being escorted and travel from Northolt to Buck house tonight, I thought the whole team did a great job, especially considering the weather, but when they arrived at the front gates of Buckingham Palace and the hearse drove through, the outriders formed a guard of honour and all the riders sat on their bikes with heads bowed.

    I thought that was a class act, especially after the hours and miles they have been putting in these last few days.

    From one retired SEG rider to the current serving ones, well done to one and all. Take a bow and good luck for the next few days.
