	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."
