    I saw this on the Coronation website -

    It seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a few lamps fired up in the iconic location that is our back garden -

    There are 5 generations of Tilley hanging from the frame - the red X246B at the back was my first ever lamp, bought new in 1985, here alongside a X246A. Guardsmen at either side - the grey one is in line for renovation and repainting but is such a willing runner that I thought it worthy of inclusion. The royalty on the front row are a PL53 and a 246 Pork Pie (squashed original hood is in the repair shop).
    Bialaddin on the table comprise a pristine ex-military 320 and a well-used 315 flanking my "Coronation Special" red, white and blue 320.
    And not a laser or drone in sight!
