The Queen's Favorite

The royal hospital at chelsea goes way back, but we know it now because it is where the chelsea flower show is held every year. It was originally opened in 16 92, which would have been just before papa thomas was born. And within a month it was filled to capacity with 476 eterans. 330 years later, they're still wearing the same uniforms. They don't wear em every day. They wear em for show. If you were watching the queen's jubilee celebrations, there were several of them walking the crowd and taking pictures with people. To these people, this is a tradition, and it goes way back to the 16 hundreds.
