    I have to wonder how much of that was selective reporting. After all, the British press and tabloids world-wide were making a meal of sensationalising reports of any sort of possible conflict between HM and HRH.

    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
