    Thank you for this promotion, Admiral. In fact, I learned fascinating things about the coaches in use by the British royalty, I had never discovered if it were not for the trivia challenge you presented us with.

    Gentlemen, I have noticed a tendency creeping in to include the picture of medal honours when answering to my awards. I have edited these posts to remove the quotes as the pictures are using up valuable resources and just like adding repeats of photos to your posts will not only slow processing in time but fill up our storage allowance on the server. Unless the addition of quotes with photos is essential to the post you are making will you please try and remember to delete unwanted pictures from quotes in future, to save my time in culling your posts.
    Thank you all for your contributions.
    Rob.

    I am deeply honoured.

    Tomorrow, I am setting off for a four-day land-battle (tournament for another war-game). When I am back, I am planning to get the local fleet together for some action.

    To the king!
