I was awakened the other morning long before 4 a.m. with the bedroom lit up like a neon sign. In the darkness of pre 4 a.m. the glow of the 40 inch bedroom TV was profound and it caused me to discover my Colombian wife watching…the wedding of the now present Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. And very likely future King of England .
I enjoyed the pomp, the scenery of London and the ceremonials that have been witnessed by the Brits, and the world for untold generations now . Its part of my heritage…my families past. In fact my Uncle, my Mothers brother David was at one time one of those “guys on the horses “ He was a member of The Queens Horse Guard …..Life Guard . Mum had a cousin or so that was a in the Grenadiers as well…..you know…the guys with the big tall furry hats in front of the palace. I grew up with this stuff, and proudly so.
To me there is something special about a people that can remain so proud of its past for well over a thousand years and I’m hoping others experience that pride for at least another thousand. But something new has sprouted indirectly from all this ancient pomp and ceremony and I’m hoping it too lasts as long . Though hardly profound or historic its cause did raise some British pride in many…I’m sure . And what has sprouted forth from this I hear you asking….

That’s what….and I urge you to google it….now
