I recently attended the funeral of a retired major of the Paras, who had also served as an officer in the TA. A number of retired military officers were there, including yours truly, a former Buccaneer wing commander and several others. Nobody wore uniform although there were a lot of regimental and RAF ties in evidence.
TTN - I fully agree I am reaching...but arguing the toss over the meaning of many a QR and JSP provided me with hours of amusement/misery over the years! Agreed this case doesn't bother me either: I would wear what 'felt right' in the circs.
(Was the former Bucc Wg Cdr a Hibernian IOT Cadet boss and AWC school boss per chance?)
