Hi, everyone! This is my first deviation.
Who of you remembers 2006, the 500 year jubilee of the Pontifical Swiss Guard? The Ex-Guards marched from Switzerland (from Bellinzona?) to Rome - four weeks! Just the same route as the first Guards went to Rome five-hundred years ago. This is where they marched into the Eternal City. Of course, during the march to Rome they didn't wear their uniforms.
The different uniforms of the drummers is because those with black sleeves on the outside are active Guards, while those in the middle are Ex-Guards. By the way, one of the drummers if my father... I drew this for him.

I suppose so... Well, it gives some insight in Swiss Guard live, and it is a gate to more information. Anyway, I want to thank you for the comments you already gave me... You're the first one as you can see! ;D
And again, I would be very glad if there were more to comment. I will expand my gallery, I promise!

I remember :D I was very excited about it :D followed the news and all, and there was this big event at the Vatican.

How amazing that your father was a drummer :D You are very fortunate to get to experience all that history and culture, now!
