I hope a little thread drift will be permitted, but as the Queens Colour Squadron has had a mention or two on this thread it may be of interest to anyone in London over the next few days that QCS will be mounting guard at Buckingham Palace on the 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th of July. Except on the first date the Band of the RAF Regiment will be in attendance for the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
