“This gives us an indication of what is going on in the whole country,” David Barber said, who wears a scarlet jacket and a white goose wings in his hat and is the title of the Kings Swan marker.
“This is a tradition, but I think it is also a very useful purpose.”
Barber has been leading this program for over 30 years. She is with a vet and Orsmen dressed in three colors: red for the king, white for the venerable company of the Winters and blue stripes for the revered company of the diors.
