Speaking when his sons were still very young, Prince Charles once mused that Prince William and Prince Harry were "normal" children in an "extraordinary" position.

This they may truly appreciate when the day comes that, like their grandfather Prince Philip this week, they're duty-bound to don a top hat and tails at midday for a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance the likes of which helps make Britain great.

As members of the Royal Household breathe a sigh of relief that a State Visit that was two years in the making is successfully behind them, here's an exclusive (and quite lengthy) video from Calyx TV of highlights from the Horse Guards Parade ceremony at which the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles welcomed King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, accompanying the video is The Royalist Quiz No. 83 testing your knowledge of a tradition which is an integral part of royal and diplomatic life.
