The heroism and sacrifices of servicemen and women in Afghanistan was saluted yesterday as Britain celebrated Armed Forces Day.
Troops were cheered by a 50,000-strong crowd in the main parade in Cardiff, one of 350 staged nationwide in the second annual tribute to the bravery of the Services.
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall joined the outgoing Chief of the Defence staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, and Defence Secretary Liam Fox to watch the outpouring of patriotism in Cardiff.

He’s a freaking muzzie, and he loves the Global Warming B.S.
He’s a devout Christian, although I agree he does believe in climate change.
Don’t believe all the garbage the media tries to feed you about the Prince. Overall he’s a conservative Christian and that’s why they hate him.

He might be a “Christian” but he’s no conservative. He’s also a damned tree hugger.
He is a conservative. How many conversations have you had with him?
I don’t get my knowledge of the man from the media.
I would have thought people on FR were aware of the fact that the media loves doing hit pieces. For some reason, they believe them in this case.
He is a Christian and he is a conservative. Those are facts.
Is he an environmentalist as well. Yes - and he’s been one since well before it became an issue hijacked by the left.
It sounds like you either know him or know people who know him. I’ll take your word for it.
These are the images the media doesn't like showing people.
I do know him - and it drives me insane at times to see the way he gets misrepresented in the media.
Any speech he makes has to be cleared by the government for constitutional reasons (he cannot make a speech contrary to the polices of Her Majesty’s government). For the past decade and a half Britain had a socialist government. The only thing he agreed with them on was environmental issues - so many of his speeches wound up being about those issues. It remains to be seen if the new government will allow him to speak out more on other issues.
I appreciate your response. I will look upon him in a new light. Thank you.
