Christmas Eve, Eve in the Duchy of Tradgardland

 It is Christmas Eve, Eve in the Duchy of Tradgardland. It is the day when the Duke inspects his troops and gives them all a gold coin as a thank you for their loyal service. The Duke is present, the three chests carrying the coins are beside him. He hands each soldier a coin individually and exchanges  pleasantries of the Season-

The Duke is accompanied by his Court Orchestra ( formerly in the service of Wittenberg) who accompany the ceremony with suitable carols.
Thanks to the Duke’s  Flaggenmacher David for such glorious flags and to the Duke of Wittenberg for his Court Musicans.

    Nothing like a good Parade. Even better if you have a good reason for it.

    A very important occasion when a prince can strengthen the bond with his soldiers.
    I believe this trees were procured from Flying Tiger Tradgard if I'm not mistaken!

    Huzzah! An excellent display and flags. Were the King’s coins gold or chocolate?

    Splendid parade! Lovely flags too... Great to see them in action; warms the cockles of a Flaggenmacher's heart... :-)
