00:00Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to see you again.
00:25It's going to be operational as well, so it's a bit of a rough day to have crisis operations, but we'll see.
00:39Thank you very much.
00:41How did you find the issue?
00:43Yeah, we did actually sign.
00:45Yeah, yes, thank you.
00:47What's your name?
00:49Maxwell.
00:51Nice to meet you.
00:53Very nice to meet you, yes.
00:55So this is sort of your chair medal, so for all that.
00:58How do you feel like?
01:00I feel like that, because obviously this is going to be up to you, right?
01:02Yeah, it's up to you.
01:04Absolutely, because you work hard at night, you know.
01:06And what are you up to at the moment?
01:09So I've just been posted to the Irish Guards.
01:11I've just sent in to my job to see what you're doing, Sergeant.
01:14Very nice.
01:15So probably at the end, I don't know if you might have always wanted to be in the military as well, or whether these two working together.
01:21Yeah, I went to watch a military band when I was a kid.
01:23Yeah, that's what you were doing.
01:25Just a little part of it.
01:27Obviously it's not a military band, but it's a different type of musical involvement, isn't it?
01:34Yeah.
01:36But are there enough youngsters coming through with musical ability?
01:40Yeah, I mean, we've got a few.
01:42I'm afraid once they play, they don't do it at all.
01:46Yeah, it's like music and art.
01:49Great that you're here. Congratulations.
02:04Royal Salute!
