No, its Friday 8th April. What better way to mark the event than spending the afternoon in the pub

Maam's little darlings can dress up in fancy dress and wear their toytown medals.

Quietly, in a Registry Office, with no pomp and ceremony and certainly no uniform to denegrate any Service, let's hope.

Princess Camilla - even Disney couldn't have scripted it.

Best not have any low level flypast as it may scare the equine looking one.

Well, personally I feel that the marriage of Prince Charles to Mrs Parker-Bowles is one thing, but whether the Duchess of Cornwall should ultimately become the King's Consort is entirely another as it will undoubtedly be highly controversial and potentially very damaging to the stability of the monarchy.

Solution? The Duke of Cornwall should relinquish his aspiration to monarchy in favour of Prince William.

More importantly, will the defence budget have enough left so that the lads/lasses of the Fleet can splice the mainbrace?

Did the Admiralty / Army / Air Force Boards commission QR1021 reports on the Admiral / Major-General / Air Marshal for humping the Brigadier's wife?

God I hope she's not pregnant. Those would be some very ugly children. How could he go from a beautiful women like Diana to this is beyond comprehension.
The worlds riches welfare cases will be costing taxpayers another tidy sum.

The unfortunate thing with Diana was when she had done her duty and produced William and Harry, as we all well know she was discarded.

Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Consort, my God save us all.

Day off ......no chance....no bods left at home to get one, no flypast either, nothing serviceable

What does one buy one who has everything for a wedding present? Thought about a horse, plane, big house in the country, even a county or two but one thinks the one has them already. Also, stag party in Blackpool or Newcastle?
