Wrong title. This was at the Centenary Celebrations in Edinburgh in 1983. Men and boys from all over the country had gone to Edinburgh. We had earlier marched onto the parade ground at Hollyrood Palace, where the Queen inspected us by horsedrawn carriage and gave a speech. Here we are waiting for her to drive past in her carriage.
