The prince and I

It's not quite The King and I - but here's me and the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, at Alamein's Commonwealth War Cemetery on Saturday, which was the day the UK remembered its war dead in the World War II battles that took place here.

Ok, I wouldn’t say he’s standing BESIDE me, but you get the picture. I was there with a Californian press photographer, who sidled up to me, muttering "Which one is he?" The answer: the one in the bright red hat. Dead giveaway.

Most non-Commonwealth people thought the rather dashing silver-haired gent beside him was the prince (we think that was one of the ambassadors who attended).

I’m unnaturally proud of the pic, for a Republican, that is;)
