He served.Did you honestly expect a member of the Royal Family to be thrust into hand to hand combat?
Regardless of any unpleasant aspects / events in his personal life, it remains a fact that Andrew served well for Queen and Country in the Falklands war.
As for serving well, I know a couple of people who knew him from those times and they thought he was a twat even then. Unlike Charles who they only had good things to say about. And I was told that long before all the pedo stuff went public.

Certainly is.Fair enough, shame he turned into a fucking twat and sex pest after
It depends upon what you define as "served well"Did you honestly expect a member of the Royal Family to be thrust into hand to hand combat?

People who did serve in that conflict may disagree considerably.

Her pony was what set me off for some reason. Lonely animals always get to me.I am not a royalist but not anti.
I am not religious but not anti.
But I have been sat on my sofa since 10am and this has been fantastic. Nice to see the queens pony and her dogs.
Britain does this brilliantly.

I though the Wordsworth quote the BBC used was appropriate
Yet shall some tribute of regret be paid
When her long life hath reached its final day:
Men are we, and must grieve when even the Shade
Of that which once was great is passed away.

I’ll give you a like merely for mentioning Alice Roberts :-)Yes, that is usual. I watched a documentary recently where they went down to the depths of the British Library or somewhere and could read the King’s diary from a century ago for the first time.
Might have been Neil Oliver or Alice Roberts, can’t bloody remember what documentary it was now.

Hearsay.He served.

There are twats in all walks of life. It doesn't mean that they don't carry out their duties to the best of their abilities.
Like Harry, Andrew was a proud serviceman, and should have been allowed to wear full uniform.

Does it count as hearsay if the person who told me served with him?Hearsay.

He also told me that his exploits in the Falklands war were exaggerated by the media.
