turn to BBC News. just finished baroque choir performance - showing gathering and marching of assorted ceremonial troops - now msic from Coronation orchestra in Westminster Abbey. did my eyes deceive me - thought i saw Jean Francois Kerry sporting medals.
John Kerry is attending the Coronation as part of the US delegation, and would be entitled to wear his French and German decorations if he chose to - I don’t believe he has any British decorations although I wouldn’t entirely rule out that a former Secretary of State had something honourary in the British system.
Were Ketchup boy’s medals American or N. Vietnamese? (He served (at least one side) in the Vietnam war, doncha know.) </sarc>
