Charlie calls in the troops for a Thankyou

Watching BBC News tonight, Prince Charles has called in a Scottish regiment to Balmoral to personally say thank you for the service they did in Iraq and to give each one the Iraq medal.

The BBC News then went on to do an item on the lack of support to our troops from the general public and showed extracts from ARRSE on the matter.

This news coverage is just what is needed and more of it too from all the channels basically saying it is a disgrace that the general public have shown ignorance in welcoming the troops home. The usual former General was having his say too and quite right to say he wished for the troops coming home to be able to parade in the high street etc without feeling unwelcome.

good on you HRH.
