My Dad told me the story of his meeting and having a beer with, H.R.H. Prince Philip a few times. It was when we were posted in Soest, Germany. I remember the day of the Royal Visit. I had to wear my Brownie uniform and we practised standing at attention. (The other time I had to wear my Brownie uniform to base was the first raising of the Canadian Maple Leaf Flag, I remember it like it was yesterday. (oops, only old people say that eh?)
Well, back to my Dad and Prince Philip, I just found this pic from a year book of our years in Soest.
Prince Philip, Centre second row. My Dad, third row, second from the left. I assume that's the day my Dad and Prince Philip shared a beer. (Though I suppose they met again in 1983 when Prince Philip came to CFB London for the Centenary of the Regiment.)
