NANCY Beorskin Hats Set Off

Britain's famed brigades of
guards today fought grimly for

Ex-RAF man Peter Page, in
a letter to the London Times,
wrote that the bearskins on
guardsmen outside Buckingham
Palace were in disturbing va
riety.
"Some have fierce looking

he wrote. Some have no
fringes at all and look curiously
bald. Others have a slightly
tattered, almost NANCY, look
about them"
He suggested some of the
headpieces might even be vet
