Royal Fever

The Observer tells me that "Royal Fever is sweeping the town" -- or words to that effect.
Just wonder how many of you are feeling feverish.
I feel alright at the moment -- what about you ?
 
Guess I should have added for the benefit of those who haven`t seen the article that Prince Andrew is visiting shortly to open some organisation in the town.
 
Not feeling the slightest bit feverish, well nothing a cup of coffee and biscuit wouldn't cure. Have no interest in the Royal family, so highly doubt I'll be turning up on the day.:coffeecup
 
Duke of York in Accy?

This is exciting! Could someone please let me know the exact date when he's paying his visit so that I can turn up & cheer him on as he exits from his car. I might even buy myself a new digital camera so that I can record this historic event & post them all over the Accyweb site, no doubt to great applause from all of you on here....
 
Would turn up to cheer him out of Accy and that would be about it.Would bring an instrument to blow on too.Trumpet or something.Believe i have one that was made in Padiham if you follow my drift
 
My Tent

Could someone please advise me where would be the best place to pitch my tent for the forthcoming Royal Visit of H.R.H the Duke of York? I anticipate being there a week in advance and will be putting my tent up on the pavement close to where he steps out. Depending on how many likewise souls there are, I hope to be at the front of the anticipated vast crowd, cheering him on.
Naturally, I would'nt like anyone to trip over the guy ropes - so please be careful! It would also be nice to have the facility to use a loo & get a refill for my thermos flask.
Which of you Accy Webbers can point me to the right spot?
 
I forgot to ask...

..Where can I buy those little Union Jack Flags to wave? (You know the ones that are made in China)
 
It seems that everyone has said what I would like to say so I’m pleased to see that Accrington is not populated with forelock tugging sycophants. I have a message for this Andrew chappie. Your ancestors stole land from my ancestors. I would like it back now.

By the way Tealeaf when the Union Flag is flown from the jackstaff (that’s the mast at the pointed end) of a British warship it is called a Union Jack, otherwise it is known as the Union Flag.
 
Stole, stole.I think not kind Sir, Normally i would say that your land was won over in a major battle like 25% of the Earths land mass at one time.Sorry mate, no offence meant but English and proud of it.Long live the Common Wealth and its flagstaffs
 
Mik, if you are english and proud, how come you live over in germany and not here.A lot of people like yourself are patriotic, yet choose to live abroad. No offence just a little thought going around my head.
 
Hi Jam,

My apologies for the terminological inexactitude. However, given that H.R.H. the Duke of York has had such a distinguished career within the Senior Service, I think within the context of his visit, then the use of Jack rather than the correct flag can possibly be excused. I thought an old sea salt like yourself would have been right at the front of the happy crowd!
 
October last year my wife and I attended raf Lossiemouth for the presentation of a new colour to 51 squadron raf regiment doing the honour the Duke of York He was in a air commodores dress uniform and was the smartest man on parade Afterwards he went round meeting all the different groups married families, veterans,lads off the squadron an absolute gent Click on to www.rockape.org.uk scroll down to photo section click year 2000 scroll down first page click page two several pictures of the parade at the bottom of the page
 
Thank you Keith,

One is always pleased to see the high standards maintained by H.R.H. Air Commodore the Duke of York. One regrets awfully the republican sentiment displayed by some on this website. One wonders where they come from...
