    Spot the Xmarker!

    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Well done!
    I've looked through all 1000 and I can't see myself or any other Xmarkers other than acaig!

    I had my picture taken by a photographer as I waited in line for the toilet... I'm not sure if it was the official photographer though!

    Well spotted. Well done ACaig!
    In the same photo I also recognise Pipe Major Malcolm Bruce of Hawick Scout Fellowship Pipe Band. He's the fellow in the Sutherland tartan kilt, partly hidden behind the guy with the blue baseball cap, blue jacket and blue jeans. I've just been chatting to him an hour ago at my Scottish Country Dance class. I found the navigation of the 1,000 pics rather difficult and there are several sequences of almost identical shots but I must take the time to look at them all and see if I can find anyone else I recognise.

    I agree... I think they should be better arranged or sectioned.
