Congratulations to Iain Robertson.....

[Strangely Brown]

.......on the announcment of your MBE in the Queens Birthday Honours list.


So Karen, have you started to look for a new hat yet?

Well deserved if I may say so!

[ovenpaa]

Congratulations indeed Iain, a very worthy achievement.

[Robin128]

Well done...esp SAR time.

No hat I'm afraid - I've got a size 8 head due to my huge brain of course

The only thing that fits is a Tilley and that was difficult enough to find and I dont think Her Majesty will appreciate its fine workmanship!

Will have to be a fascinator thingy instead

Went to a Garden Party a couple of years ago - do you think I'll get away with the same dress?

Love

Who?

I would be grateful if someone would explain who he is and his contribution to shooting.

I believe it was for his services as an RAF Search and Rescue Pilot.
