Crimson Dynamo | The voice of reason
|
There is a strong presence of former military personnel among the crowds of
mourners on Constitution Hill, outside Buckingham Palace Among them was 25-year Royal Navy veteran Dave Mills, who served in the Falklands and first Gulf wars. He was brimming with pride His son Tim, who followed his father into the Navy, will be marching alongside the Queen's coffin later this morning. As Chief of Parade Staff, Portsmouth, he has been responsible for training the gun carriage detachment ahead of the big day. "I just spoke to him 10 minutes ago," said Mr Mills, 66, his chest festooned with medals. "I think there are a few nerves, but I'm extremely proud of him. He's got the best job here. He's been training for this moment for five years. He left Portsmouth at 1am this morning. |
