It's not often we get to see such formal daytime events. A great opportunity to see the correct, accepted formal attire for military, kilted and non-kilted folks.
OK, I'll demonstrate my ignorance here.
There is a pretty big difference between a morning coat and a lounge suit. Does the invitation imply that either is correct?
