Charley boy, he must have fought somewhere because he's got about a thousand medals on his chest. And also Randy Andy he flew a chopper. Real heroes.

Oh, I forgot to metion limp wristed Edward, he's the one who didn't last 5 minutes in the Royal Marines.

I watched it on the TV.
Some presenters are dumb as *******
Dom Snow for teh BBC was saying how the Sea Harrier wasn't there as it was a single engined jet and considered unreliable and they didn't want it crashing in London. Funny that as before that he was saying how Hawks would be in the flyby and they are single engined no. Hell they had a Nimrod fly over.

Maybe he was told not to say that the SHAR had been retired early due to shortsightedness of the MOD.

I heard a reporter refer to The current Ark Royal as a veteran of the conflict!
