Queen’s Guard, London, England
Dear Ben and the Mini Ben Staff, Mini Ben with a member of the Queens Guard. I'm very sorry it's taken me this long to get back to you but we've been extremely busy with preparations for this year's Trooping the Colour as well as a number of exercises out in the field. I have attached a couple of pictures with me and Mini Ben, I do hope they're ok, Mini Ben is still in my Great Coat pocket so has been stomping around Buckingham Palace a fair bit over the last couple of weeks! Thank you very much indeed for including $10 return postage, I hope you don't mind but I have taken the liberty of donating it to my regimental charity, set up to help soldiers injured in Afghanistan, on Mini Ben's behalf (http://www.welshguards2015specialevents.org.uk/?page_id=49). I hope that all is well out Redmond, I've been out to the States a number of times and absolutely love it! Next time I'm around I'll be sure to drop in! Yours Ever Lt JR Farmelo Queens Guards Officers Mess St James Palace London SW1A 1BG
