Bearskin\n\nThe bearskin should not be mistaken for the busby, which is a much smaller fur cap.

Thomas Gumble 1671 \n\nThe First 50 Years\n\nOliver Cromwell, after raising the New Model Army in 1645 to fight against the Royalists, finally defeated them in 1649. This paved the way for the execution of Charles I on 30th January 1649. With the Civil War over, Cromwell held unprecedented power in England. Ireland, however, was still in a state of revolt and Cromwell led a force across the Irish Sea to impose his rule on the country. During the campaign, he became impressed by the military qualities of a certain Colonel George Monck and determined to give him command of his own regiment. Cromwell created a completely new body of men, by taking five companies from the Regiment of George Fenwick and five from the Regiment of Sir Arthur Hazelrigg, then Governor of Newcastle. Both these formations had been raised as part of the New Model Army in 1645. Cromwell formed the new Regiment on 13 August 1650 and gave it the name, ''Monck's Regiment of Foot''. The modern-day Coldstream Guards is directly descended from Monck's Regiment of Foot and is therefore the oldest Regiment in continuous service with the British Army. \n\nScotland at this time still held great sympathy for the Royalist cause. Charles Stuart, on his return from exile, seized the offer of a Scottish army to help reclaim the throne of England. On hearing this news, Oliver Cromwell, now back from Ireland, marched north, and decisively defeated Charles's army at the Battle of Dunbar on 3 September 1650. Monck's Regiment of Foot took part in the battle under Cromwell. Afterwards, Cromwell ordered a special medal to be struck and awarded to the officers and men of the New Model Army. The Coldstream Guards are the only surviving Regiment to have earned this early example of a campaign medal. \n\nAfter Oliver Cromwell's death in 1658, Charles saw again his opportunity to reclaim the English throne. On 1st January 1660, General Monck assembled a large part of his troops in the little town of Coldstream on the Scottish border and decided to march to London. The march took five weeks and Monck entered the capital on 3rd February for the first time. Despite some opposition to his ideas, Monck managed to break the army's domination of the Government and brought about the election of a freely-chosen parliament, which met on 25th April 1660. One of the first acts of this new Parliament was to vote for the return of the Monarchy. \n\nOn 25 May 1660, the King landed at Dover, where General Monck welcomed him. During the journey to London, the King showed his gratitude to General Monck by bestowing on him the Order of the Garter, which is now the basis of the Regimental cap star. On 26 August 1660, Parliament passed an act ordering the disbandment of the entire New Model Army. No exceptions, including General Monck's regiments, were allowed, although one concession was made: they should be the last to disappear.\n\nThis concession had far reaching effects. On Sunday, 6 January 1661, two days before Monck's Regiments were to be disbanded, an armed revolt occurred against the King, forcing an alarmed Parliament somewhat reluctantly to call on ''Monck's Regiment of Foot'' for help. Monck's men, veterans of a decade of hard campaigning, swiftly quelled the rebels and ended the rioting. A grateful Parliament repealed the order for disbandment. On 14 February 1661, Monck's Regiment of Foot paraded at Tower Hill. The men symbolically laid dow

If I had to guess I'd say Mike Commodore... I think the should put it in a bathrobe and let it be a "Robe Warrior", since that's what is fans are called... I think it would be funny if somebody had a party and filled it up with ice and beer and used it as a cooler. Or you could use it as a champange bucket... I would like bring it to the grocery store and put all my groceries in it... that would be fun...

I actually been to Engeland (often mistaken for England in the UK).  I think you are maybe talking about the ancient annual traditional event of tracking down Queen Delilah's come (bottled). The lucky person who finds the bottle and returns it to the shiny palace can claim 200,000 Veesos.  Unfortunately, I have no idea where it is and cannot help you. Good luck in your search.

Tom Baker of course! A previous Dr. Who (who used to wear a long scarf, and a battered had). He's also the eccentric Captain on Fort Boyard, and as I understand it, he's a giant of a man, and a really nice bloke!
