The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are tasked with protecting HMTQ during the Royal Holiday in Balmoral. However due to a lack of manpower the MOD feel the need to photoshop in more troops than were actually there. However cpl Jock McTavish decides to make a silent protest that went largly un noticed to his disapointment.

The publishers of the "Where's Wally" books realise that there had been a typo in the latest Scottish edition.

Some of us get more 'excited' than others waiting for Penny to hand down the judgement

Why else would a Scotsmen take a Whisky when Haggis on the menu.....

Still could be worse....live in Australia and see what Ant and Dec have the contestants chow down on

However ( Caption). When the Donald reviewed the troops at Windsor the Queen kept all the 'good' troops to herself.

Well, that was easier than expected! The still from 'Carry On Up the Khyber'took my fancy when I saw it, but I was also taken with: " The publishers of the "Where's Wally" books realise that there had been a typo in the latest Scottish edition. "

Fortunately, they were both from Wensleydale, so he gets the virtual trophy for this time. Look after it well, Wensleydale - it must be getting a bit tatty after so much travelling.

My earlier reference to Scottish paratroops was meant to provoke a comment about 'shock and awe' if the troops were seen descending with their kilts above their ears, but no-one came up with that.
