During the handover ceremonies for Hong Kong, one Regimental fellow had
an unfortunate updraft encounter with the turbulence from a nearby
helicopter while he was holding (folding?) the colors. This was caught
from behind by an alert photog, and published in the global press the
next day. The caption I recall seeing was "The Moon Never Sets On The
British Empire."
