The Security Detail

I was photographing the wedding of my friends, Gary and Nicola yesterday when I noticed these soldiers getting ready for a display on Bangor pier. 
We joked when looking out the window that perhaps they had been arranged as the security detail for the breakfast, as Gary the groom (and wedding arranger) is a facilities manager. If I had been brave enough, I'd have asked them to come into the hotel and stand each at one corner of the breakfast table. It would have made for a quirky shot. They were rather busy though, but kindly agreed to pose with their artillery piece to allow me to grab my Blip.
