Presenting on The Armed Forces
London, UK
Top BBC TV Presenter, Jeremy Clarkson handled the City Salute earlier this evening from St Paul’s Cathedral. The City of London played host to the Navy, Army and Air force for a unique event to raise awareness of the sacrifices made throughout the world by British servicemen and women, and their families at home.The event, supported by Princes William and Harry, featured the Band of the Royal Marines, Household Cavalry Armoured and Mounted detachments and a fly-past of three RAF Eurofighter Typhoons and Chinook Helicopters.
Tonight we saw two sides of presenter Jeremy. He had to make a wisecrack about Chinook’s and a certain garden on the Isle of Wight and may have caused a few eyebrows to be raised, when he mentioned that the Lord Mayor of London wasn’t Boris Johnson. The current incumbent is, of course, David Lewis.
Later on, he was interviewed on the BBC news about Help for Heroes, a charity of which he is Patron. He was altogether far more serious than earlier. Details of this evenings events are here, with more about Help for Heroes here.
