Good point.

Here's a thought. Once or twice a year I have to dress up in best bib and tucker, clean shoes, and arrive on time for a funeral or other formal occasion, drink a glass of plonk, eat rubber chicken, smile and chat to people with whom I have little in common. The Duke did that two or three hundred times a year to support the Queen. Now that's service!
