I admired the Prince of Wales yesterday and regret a remark, in an earlier post on 2 June.
Prince Charles stepped up and did his duty and represented us all, wearing the medals and honours that he has been awarded as a serving member of our armed forces. It was noticeable that Brown has no such distinctions.
Brown was distinguished by his greeting of boos and shouts of rejection from the veterans whose Commemoration he had gatecrashed and from which he had tried to exclude our county's representative.

Well said, lass. Alibi-Braun was claiming on the Beeb 24 hour News that he was wearing decorations that he was not entitled to. Dear God, she's thick.
To my surprise, the BBC have reported the booing. The pictures of Brown at Obama Beach (God help us) are shocking. Looked as though he was about to pass out. Danny Finkelstein very funny today in the Times, saying that the Labour party has a window of opportunity, and that they should throw Brown out of it.
Looks like PM is PM now, in reality.
Since I was the only commenter on your earlier piece, I am delighted to read your retraction HG.
Charles may appear to be a bit wimpish on the surface, but I do believe there is some cold hard steel underneath that exterior. Commanding frigates(?) on active duty and earning paratroopers' wings by jumping out of aeroplanes at 10,000 feet is not for everybody (me included!).
I thought he carried himself very well at the ceremony despite the obvious embarrassment he (and no doubt most of the other guests) were undergoing. Brown stood out as exactly what he was - an ignorant sore thumb seriously out of place.
And well done to those veterans who made their feelings crystal clear. It would be most fitting if HM could now arrange a wholly private commemoration party for just the families of herself and the veterans all of whom can be proud of what they have done for us.
