I've also jumped on the bandwagon and made a complaint to the BBC. Well someone has to represent the spotters. 
Oh, I didn't manage to get to HMS Excellent with my video camera to spot the massed bands dress rehearsal last Saturday evening. 
So if anyone has managed to make a recording or intends to at Horseguards I would very much like a copy please. Of course, I will cover all costs. Many thanks. Rich.

I've just seen the Horseguards drum beatings on You Tube. Absolutely superb. No disrespect to the Household Division on Saturday but beat that.

I've just recieved an email from the BBC and according to them Beating Retreat is much smaller and less spectacular than Trooping The Colour. Who are they trying to convince? We all know it's the bloody same every year.

You will not beat the Old-School tie Brigade, Personally, for entertainment value "Trooping the Colour" Vs "Beating Retreat"
No contest , Beating retreat everytime

It would appear, that the BBC answers with a different excuse, in reply to our e mails.
Can someone who knows how, set up an online poll on Face book !
Trooping the Colour Or RM Massed Bands ?

Or failing al else a TV license refund would be apt. Or how about both ceremonies or Trooping The Colour every three years?

If MFM DVD's sell enough this year them perhaps the pro's could film the next Beat Retreat. But knowing our luck the BBC will be fed up wth all the complaints and start showing it again.
PS. Should this years ceremony be renamed Piner and Son? What a superb performance all round.
