I disagree with you about the numbers of personnel on the floor, Donkey. Times have changed, and with them have the numbers available to be spared for such occassions.
The content is the important thing, and for me the mix was very good indeed. Hats off to the whole team involved for a moving and thought provoking tribute to the fallen and those who they have left behind. And how great it was to see an all too rare public airing of our military displaying their best pomp and circumstance.
