Appoligies to the Queen graciously accepted

AS TOLD BY A BRITISH ROYAL GUARDSMAN

 

I was on Guard of Honour, waiting for the King of Saudi Arabia, on horseback. On the right flank, 

Scots Guard (100 guardsmen) a gap, HM The Queen, mounted in uniform, alongside her,

 the commanding Officer, Colonel Gerald,

Then there was another gap, then on the left flank, the Queen’s Company Grenadier
Guards (100 guardsmen).
 
We were at ease, waiting. Suddenly the silence was broken when Colonel
Gerald’s charger erupted with horse farts... at full volume for two
minutes.
 
Embarrassed and staring straight ahead Colonel Gerald said, “I'm so Sorry,
your Majesty!”
 
The Queen replied, in her sweet voice, “It's perfectly alright, Gerald, I thought it was your horse!”
