With all the stuff available on DVD these days, I wish somebody would make this available. (Of course in a version that would play on this side of the pond) I have an old tape of the trooping of the colour.

My parents were "trapped" in the U.K until air flights resumed and were taken care of by the Britishpeople. Very nice indeed.
