Nude Badminton This Way

Didn't make the dawn service this year, and was late for the 11am one, so missed the parade.

A small, but moving ceremony, as always.
The rain made photography nigh impossible.
There was so much rain on the lens that I've deleted most of the photos straight off.
If Gemax hadn't lent me his handkerchief to wipe the lens I'd have come away with nothing.  
What a gentleman! Thank you, Geoff!


This was the first year that they had bagpipes and drums.

And here we have a bagpiper.
Not too sure what he's doing but Carl immediately made the link with saucy British postcards.
He says all that's missing is a sign saying, 'Nude badminton this way.'

If you're interested, there's a small set on flickr, go here.
