Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment
I spent alot of time today sitting in traffic and trying to get around town for various reasons, however instead of becoming agitated by this it was made enjoyable by the members of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment. They had been awarded Freedom Roll of Association and Institutions, which allowed them to march through the city with drums beating, colours flying and bayonets fixed. And so they did. As i sat in the car it was a great sight to see our army marching through the city and people waving flags, clapping and cheering. We really should see more of this when these guys are out there everyday fighting to rid the earth of the scum that wishes to destroy it. It was a shame though as nothing had been advertised, well at least anything noticeable and many people missed the great sight.
It takes the piss when a bloody great spider made by some tree hugging arty farty frog get more attention and advertisement than our own service men and woman. Capital of Culture?? awards and parades like this should be the pride of the city.

Sorry Mr Juice but I'll choose spiders over a lot of boring blokes marching about any day.
If you gave drums and bayonets to a whole regiment of giant spiders and let them march about it would be fantastic!
they kept that quiet...i'd have happily gone and cheered....generations of thuds fought in this regt.
I have to say sitting there watching the parade made me think about when I was in the scouts playing in the band. around this time every week end would travel and match around towns and the streets would be filled with public it was great fun. these guys were given an award by there city and the public should have been told so they could show there appretiation.
