Last weekend on the date of the actual Trooping in London, I set up a toy soldier display of the Trooping of the Colour in the Commons Room at the Cathedral of Learning, University of Pittsburgh. This event was sponsored by Britsburgh (https://britsburgh.com/) and the English Nationality Room. This link- link shows pictures from the event. The display was 12' long and include over 700 figures. There also was a photo op with a cut out of the Queen as she looked over the display. Dave

Wow….! That looks fantastic – I could look at those photos all day. How was the display received? Oh, and great to have the cut-out of HM overlooking all…! Excellent DBDD must check out Britsburgh and see what that's all about

Thanks to everyone for their comments! The display was very well received by the public. Lots of selfies with HM and her troops. Thanks for sharing the link on A Gentleman's War Facebook page!

Oh poo, I can't access the link because it requires some kind of Microsoft or Google password. Grrrrr!
