@Powell999 Not only that, she has a horse carriage, with one of the most strongest bullet proof glass in the 21st Century, made in Italy I think. Trust me, that glass is so strong that if you shot an RPG at it, it would only deeply crack it.

yea when i was coats was based of the weather for our two regiments. the decisions are definately set apart between the diffrent regiments though. no point wearing great coats in sunny weather :)
-
Not that it really matters but I don't think weather has anything to do with it either, although I understand this may be different for Queen's Life Guard/Escorts etc. For guard mounts a date is decided when all troops on parade move to greatcoats. The Band would have to comply with this.

no tradition doesnt come into the decision to wear the coats, and it certainly isnt from london district hq either, its at the band master's c/o's descretion based on the current possible weather conditions and nothing more.. i used to be a household caverlymen and the great coats where a spur of the momment decision that our c/o would decide on based of possible or current weather donditions. if it was sunny they wouldnt wear them.

Tradition doesn't come into it! The greatcoat ruling comes from HQ London District and all on public duties should be doing the same thing.

the metroploitan police are officially responsible for her safety (there are armed MP outside her bedroom 24/7 and she has loads of bodyguards) but these guys too have a protective role - they form a visable barrier
