Bring Back The Royal Tournament

[Arthurgray50@blu]

I said this questionin an earlier thread,The Royal Tournament, was an historic event, and l only missed out on one of them, EVERYONE is in this proud country will always be eternally grateful to the armed services, that gives us that freedom that we have today, and the charities that support our boy and girls, would get the extra support from this tournament, as it is always sellout, each time l watch the Edinburgh Tattoo, brings a lump to my throat, as we are seeing our service personnel north of the border, and when l say 'our' personnel, they are, they would stand and fight for the BRITISH ISLES,and fight for Queen and country. I would suggest EVERY member of this forum sen a letter to the MPs, that's if they are not on hols, or trying to fiddle a few quid, demanding that they should bring this back, and it would be a major boost for the armed forces, to show them that we are 100% behind them.

It was George Robertson, a scotsman who scrapped the Royal Tournament , back in 1998, just over a year before it ended. He made sure he kept The Edinburgh military Tattoo going ! Geoff Hoon became defence secretary late in 1999, well after the decision had been made !
