Royal Tournament

July 30, 1999

Well considering I didn’t really know what this was all about I think the advertising got us there. It has to be one of the best things we’ve done since we’ve been here, in my opinion. It is basically a military display with competitions, and brass bands. There was a dog display team, amazing motorbike stunts; the gun run competition was unbelievable. The marines showed their skills by rescuing a hostage, which included abseiling and flying fox type stuff. The musical horse display was also really good and the horse team that pulled the guns at full gallop cannot be described. They did cross-overs and the guns were so close to crashing. All the horses were sleek and every uniform perfect and so shiny. There was such precision in every movement. We were luck enough to be there on the night that Prince Andrew was there and so we waited after the show to see him. All and all it was a lot of fun and a great nights entertainment.
