Lol! When we were kids my parents took my brother and me to see the changing of the Horse Guards. One of the the Horse Guards’ horses made a most spectacular poop. My little brother was about six (age little boys are impressed with such things), and whenever anyone asked about our trip to London the first thing he excitedly told them was about ... you guessed it ... the Horse Guards and what that horse did.

He was also most impressed with Henry VIII’s armor, but somehow knew better than to mention that in polite company. Little boys!

In case you are wondering about the armor:

Yep. The King had to appear virile.
Also…..protecting the family jewels. Literally!

“...He was also most impressed with Henry VIII’s armor...”

Except for catering to Henry’s oversized....ego..., I don’t think he could fit his royal rotundity into that tin suit.
