Thursday night BBCA reran William And Catherine's wedding. William wore his Garter sash and Star. While they were standing on the balcony at Buck House two flights flew over. The first was a Lancaster flanked by a Hurricane and a Spitfire And is called the "Battle of Britain Flight". The similarities did not go unnoticed, a Garter Knight by the name of William watching BoB planes flying over Buckingham Palace!
