Windsor Castle Royal Tattoo May 13, 2009

The Tattoo is a charity show for the Royal British Legion. It's a military band and music event. They support millions who served and currently serve in the armed forces. The show is held at night so the show had a great effect.

This year the line up acts included the Royal Navy Field Gun Race,Royal life Guards of Denmark. The Danish soldiers looked like toy tin soldiers! There was also the military band from Trinidad and Tobago, all steel drums with a limbo dancer! A massed band and fifes and drums and the Kings troop Royal Horse Artillery,and a musical ride of the household Cavalry.

And a modern military re enactment with modern equipment.
*** lots of uniforms*****lots of uniforms*** and men wearing skirts ******

James had to keep a hold on to me all evening, he knows I love a man in uniform and especially if he is on horse back.It was a great night out. He loved the artillery demonstrations too.

Pictures were hard to take as it was night time and you didn't want to use a flash. Night time settings on the camera are ok, but movement usually blurs them.

They are KILTS! - not skirts, darn it. I'm getting tempted to buy the whole kit - but did you know that a semi-formal "suit-kilt" can run in the neighborhood of $1200? !?!?
