10 Awe Inspiring Moments When Pakistani Soldiers Stood Guard At Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation In 1953

England’s Monarchy is the second oldest, dating back to the Middle Ages. Its home is Buckingham Palace. The changing of the guards for the reigning monarchy has always been a colorful event that is full of ceremony that has been maintained over the ages.

Back in 1953, after the creation of Pakistan in 1947, a contingent of Pakistani soldiers took over guard duty at Buckingham Palace for the Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation that took place on June 2 of 1953. The Changing of the guard ceremony took place prior to that.

A young Pakistani Army was since then classified as capable and strong because such a responsibility fell on their soldier on such a big day for English Royalty.

Nothing to humiliate there it is a fact...In fact it is something to be proud that our soldiers were not suspected of anything wrong and given the honour to protect the queen....Even in imperial China not everyone was allowed to "protect the empress"....We are talking about about the previous century!

The army was young and still allowed such a task is honour in workplace (as a soldier)

Seriously, there is nothing to proud of protecting another queen even they admire your intergrity. See, we Chinese will never talk or admire about anything during colonial times of hongkong. Those were days of darkness...

i know the other name of this type of politics in pak since independence is "baygharti". our elite always kept the nation slaves of the west. IK is the first leader who has given a strong reply to them. otherwise they hit us on salala and we did "politics" .they attacked abbotabad ad we did "politics". they hit us with their drones and we did "politics". they humiliate us time and again and we always did" politics". i would have admired this "politics" if we would have become economic and military power by using this "politics" but today we are begging the whole world and have no self respect. all of our institutes have collapsed and we are doing "politics".
the other group who is good at this type of politics is group of prostitu*es

We are not Chinese

In order to understand history you need to accept it....the goods and the bad...Since you cant reverse it no point being sour about it...It is part and parcel of our past we accept it and see the little bit good it may have

It is not the same as being honoured at your workplace...

Now for example if a guy working in the bank gets a promotion should he cry coz he is promoted in an institution which deals with interest or be happy about his future?

If you have nothing to contribute or feel ashamed in any form please leave the thread don't start a fight or useless argument!

Bow down to your queen Pakistanis.

I completely agree with @Beast on this one. Inferiority complexes may come to play, but that is the sad reality of some Pakistanis.

we have been seing the results of our "international relations" with "superpowers" for 70 yrs. they used us and discarded us.

@Dubious why did you delete my post? It was relevant to the thread. Just because we have opposing views, doesn't mean you should delete my post. You UK pakis must love your queen lizzy, but that doesn't mean the rest of us do.
