Honour Guard

Bringing up the rear of the Remembrance Day parade is the honour guard with the officer who took the salute. Behind are the civic dignitaries. Somehow, the modern guns don't look quite right for ceremonial work. Perhaps there should be some Lee-Enfields with their polished wooden stocks kept for events like this.
