Not quite sure why they had to jazz-up "Abide With Me" in that fashion though - not very traditional.
I thought that the muster was exceptionally thin. If ever there was evidence of the forces being overstretched this was it. The TA must have made up the majority of the service personnel present on the floor (no slight or insult to the TA intended before anyone accuses me of doing so)!! I actually thought the muster somewhat embarrassing - but then I am also pleased because it might give a hint to the politicians that we
are overstretched, despite what our senior officers might say, but I guess the Bliars didn't even notice.
Anyone know if it is traditional for CDS to be present in the PM's box?
