A former policeman has complained to the Duchess of Cornwall that his old job guarding Buckingham Palace left him with bad feet.
Camilla promised to pass on the gripe when she met Brian Johns, 67, as he displayed his badly calloused feet to a nurse in a podiatry treatment room at Llandovery Community Hospital

Scrutiny over the Prince of Wales' expenses has not dampened his popularity on the second day of the Royal tour in Wales.
His wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has spoken exclusively to the BBC in her first official interview on the second day of the couple's royal tour in Wales.

why would Wales be especially quiet as she says, I wonder. Scotland isn't?:flowers:
 
:previous: I think she is just comparing it to the noise and hustle of London. When we go down to London, the noise and smell seems overwhelming. When we then move back up to Scotland, the silence seems absolute. :flowers:

The story of how a group of shoppers, angry at the part that the Duchess of Cornwall, had played in the break up of the Prince of Wales's first marriage, pelted the then plain Camilla Parker Bowles with bread rolls in a supermarket near her home in Wiltshire has always been officially denied.

Co-stars fail to cast a spell on Emma Watson - Telegraph

A Clarence House spokesman insists: "Whether it was bread rolls or doughnuts, it's still not true."

Here are yesterday's pics with less watermarks,
Camilla meets members of the Gloucestershire Federation of
Women's Institute during a reception at Highgrove, Tetbury

I like those group pictures taken from a higher
point like in pic 3 , it shows more people and the
royals as a part of a whole "normal" group :)

And here are the first pics from today:


The Duchess of Cornwall visited the West Wilts Show, where she

Of all the famous faces the Duchess of Cornwall has met in her royal duties, the one she encountered on Thursday is likely to be the most intimidating.

People wishing to attend the funeral of WWI veteran Harry Patch can now apply for tickets from Wells Cathedral

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Somerset | Tickets available for WWI funeral

HUNDREDS queued yesterday for tickets to the funeral of Harry Patch, Britain's last survivor of the World War One trenches

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...for-chance-to-pay-respect-to-Harry-Patch.html

All available tickets for the funeral of WWI veteran Harry Patch at Wells Cathedral have now been issued

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/8179275.stm
The Duchess of Cornwall and Duchess of Gloucester are due to attend the funeral service

--------------------------
I find this somewhat distasteful, surely it should be done by invitation to his friends, family and dignitaries.
 
Farewell to the Last Tommy: Thousands pay their respects at funeral of World War I veteran Harry Patch

In life, he was honoured as the last survivor from the trenches during a war that cost millions of men their lives. In death, World War I veteran Harry Patch wanted the focus to be on peace.

And so the funeral of the 'Last Tommy', who died aged 111 last month, was about reconciliation rather than a display of military power - of inclusion rather than separation.
British soldiers who took part were joined by Belgian, French and German soldiers - a living recognition of the veteran's own words that all those involved had been blighted by the Great War.

'Irrespective of the uniforms we wore, we were all victims,' said the centenarian who fought at the Battle of Passchendaele when he was eventually ready to talk of the horrors he had witnessed.


Although no tribute would ever be enough to thank Harry Patch, the last of the British finest, I think this sincere show of respect, gratitude and emotions was a nice touch. I find it especially fitting that not only British but also Belgian, French and German soldiers joined the service.

Rest in peace, Mr. Patch.

I'm sure they reserved spaces for family and friends. I often feel that the gallant soldiers of World War I are forgotten heroes... and I know my grandfather was one of them. I wish he had had the long life of Mr. Patch.

They did, as well as for the dignitaries and members of the armed services. I suppose in the end it was fitting that members of the public could also attend.:flowers:
