Finally decided to change the command figure of my Trooping the Colour display.
It took me almost two years to decide.
HRH the late Queen Elizabeth II has been moved to another shelve. She is still on display, but certainly not on a central role.
Time moves on.

In my collection ERII will remain at the head of the Trooping of the Colour display… not that I do not have the Charles III mini too… but there you are I was born in 1952 and habits and frame die hard.
Surely Charles will do a lot of ceremonial but not so many as his mother I fear.
We collectors are like that. I think that I already did a Post about them but not going to check… today is my wife’s anniversary so… a good homage to the Queen of my heart.
Incidentally, Jack Duke from DUCAL did for me a lot of “specials” that are in this pic try to find them…
Enjoy!
PS: On second thoughts maybe… just maybe… I will paint a King Charles III… he is from my generation after all…
YES! I did it see other Posts…

Those musicians are badly needed in any Trooping the Colour ceremonial.
Incidentally as spectators you have the Duke of Wellington, the Emperor of the French N.B. and Admiral Nelson… the only Napoleonic 54MM in my collection.
Enjoy!

When I was a child I was fascinated by those red coated Guards… got a box of Britains with Coldstream Guards… and then when I started collecting “seriously” they were my first addiction… I bought books about them and slowly it dawnwd on me that it was five different Regiments! LOL
Well… there they are (with some other minis just for fun)
Enjoy!
