Military Precision…
Middle-aged volunteers raised their coloured
umbrellas
High, as banners for the guided
Through Windsor’s ancient, bustling streets.
Information was thus provided.
Colourful hired barges hoisted patriotic flags
High, as banners for the navigation
Through Sonning’s busy, meandering Thames.
A means of relaxation.
Listening, chattering, staring visitors lifted
audio-aids
High, as banners for the learning
Through the state apartments, opulent and affluent.
An embarrassment for the discerning.
Marching, changing Guards held shouldered rifles
High, as banners for the security trade
Through the Castle’s crowded, thronging Wards.
A military presence on parade…
Pete Ray...
Visit to Windsor Castle, 2006.
Odd place, really.
Lots of walls.
Security high.
Guides, soldiers, sightseers with inane-making
audio-aids and later, the barges in Sonning.
And all of it seemed to move with such military
precision.
