On his day at the Show, Malcolm said: "There's been a lot of interest.

"We've been on duty - well it's not really a duty, it's a pleasure to be out talking to people, since about half past ten this morning. We went to see the advanced motorists - and then we've been walking around all the tents and all around the displays. We've been looked after and talked to - it's been fantastic, and it's a lovely setting, too. "We're hoping to see the Black Knights coming down, now." Soon after, the Royal Artillery Parachute Display Team (The Black Knights) fell from the sky and glided into the main arena to cheers and applause. Show's over 'til tomorrow. |
