I get where you’re coming from, Steve, but I do find the spectacle of large groups of smartly-turned-out, well-trained men, women, and animals (especially horses, which I regard as being particularly beautiful creatures), performing intricate manœvres, and the superb musicianship of the assembled military bands, both interesting and attractive.

However, and like you, I have little interest in the over-privileged family in whose name it was all carried out.

No accounting for taste, eh? ;-)
