Typhoons over Edinburgh

[Graham]

At 12:30 the house was over flown by 4 Typhoons in a diamond formation heading into town from the west, any idea why?

Charley is in toon;

The Duke of Rothesay, accompanied by The Duchess of Rothesay, will take the salute from Abbey Strand to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, as a parade of Armed Forces personnel and Royal British Legion members marches past. Their Royal Highnesses will then review the Parade on the forecourt of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, before hosting a reception for Armed Forces personnel in the Picture Gallery,

So that's what it was. I heard them and looked out the window but didn't see anything. I live about a quarter of a mile from Holyrood Palace.

Which explains the heavy police presence outside the Palace for the past couple of days. Hope he isn't wearing the kilt - he doesn't have the knees for it.

Thanks Andy.

There was a parade from the castle to holyrood palace by a contingent from the Royal Navy, Scots Guards, Royal Air Force and the British Legion.

A friend and former flat was among the navy group, they did well considering alot of them were hungover.
