So in honour of all of that, I'm stitched him a special birthday card. Unfortunately it was too small to put the correct number and pattern of buttons for a Welsh guard, but I hope he'll forgive that small detail (in all senses of the words).
It was quite cute - eventhough I say so myself - and I added a '70' (one digit either side of the poor guardsman's head) in my own font. I had a few aperture cards left from ages ago and a small red one suited it perfectly. What a shame I forgot to photograph it in my rush to get to the post, but he was like one of these soldiers.
