@cruiser @sangwann @phil_sandford @bozi @carole_sandford @beryl .
Thanks you all for your comments,as always greatly appreciated...those red coats they wear are wool and quite heavy and not always comfortable to wear.

How much fun to be able to listen to their stories. That's history that shouldn't be lost, enjoy it while you can.
