I did a Remembrance Day parade at our adopted city in Canada about 6 or 7 years ago. Afterwards, we all popped into a local juicer for a pint or 2, in our No 1s, and were welcomed with open arms. The Old Boys had also gone in there for a drink and we all got totally smashed up together - they were ex-Canadian Forces and we were RAF. Some of them even shed a tear because they hadn't seen the uniform in a fair while. We had a German officer with us who was on exchange at the time. When he came into the pub in his parade uniform there was a few minutes of unease until he came in with a tray of whiskies and gave a tear-rendering speech about how we're all on the same side now and friends etc etc. We spent the entire evening in our uniforms (even went to an Ice Hockey game later on) and never had one single problem.
