Really OT.

I'm watching a re-run of the 2018 Edinburgh Tattoo where your boys were performing. i've seen them before, it is a great show and always a treat to watch, However I'm a fan of all stuff military.

Great show. We saw it a few years ago while on a British Isles cruise. I think our cruising days are over unless they find a vaccine that confers long term immunity.

My spouse and I also had the distinct pleasure to attend the Military Tattoo ... ? I think in 2014 or 2015 while on a cruise around the Isles ... pure luck. When we boarded at Dover it was listed as an optional excursion ... jumped on that! It was the highlight of the cruise ... the night we attended seemed to be mostly locals which made the passion and pride that much more. Beautiful city.
