Thank you for the photos - looks like the rain came down in buckets!

Ah yes, "sheeting" as they say! But glad it didn't stop the ceremonies (heck, if folks in the UK let a little rain stop them, nothing would get done

) Thanks for the pix.

wow, from the title of this thread, I thought somebody had pics of the original event.

Thanks for sharing!

Is this ceremony an annual event? Who were the gentlemen with the crusader capes?

I believe the chaps in the white mantles with the red Maltese cross are Scottish Knights Templar.
