He has dedicated his life to serving her Majesty and bring colour and much joy to her otherwise ceremonial and dutiful life. The darkening of the outside world, where miners strike is bringing the country to its knees, will not dampen one's spirits. The Thatcher years are about to begin and the swinging sixties and glam full seventies are about to be banished as frivolities to a "New Business Order". Watch what happens when these two very different existences are mixed together like a pina Colada in a blender!
