Amongst the crowd stands Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and Princess Anne, representing not only their royal status but also their unwavering support for those who fought bravely in defense of their nation. Their presence adds an air of regality to this joyous occasion.

His dedication and commitment to duty are commendable.
