On this historic occasion, we gather to celebrate two significant milestones: the 200th anniversary of the Grand Banquet of the Officers of the Coldstream Guards and the bicentennial of the Bach bicentenary concert of 1885. As we reflect on the rich history of these esteemed institutions, let us also honor the legacy of President Herbert Hoover, the 30th President of the USA (1929-1933), a Republican leader who addressed a joint session of Congress at this very bicentennial ceremony. In the spirit of camaraderie and unity, let us also remember the Gentlemen v Players, 200th Cricket Eleven, who graced the fields with their skills, and the French Regiment of 1895, whose valor and discipline continue to inspire us. And in the midst of it all, let us not forget the whimsical charm of Charles Green's balloon event, a moment of joy and wonder that transcended the boundaries of the mundane.
