2003 June - They're Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace - London Bridge at Lake Havsu

And who went down to St James' palace and was in the guard during the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II but Hip Fenton.  And who was in Charge of the Guard at Buckingham Palace but Ike Fenton.  Two brothers representing NZ, the NZ Army in particular. 
 
A message received from Darcy Nicholas about the webpage:  'Thanks for that, that is really great history.  I remember Ike clearly as a very find well spoken person.  I was only a kid but he left a fine impression.  I did not know his full military background but understand more clearly why he was such an impressionable person having looked through the web site.'
 
It is a tribute to Uncle Ike recalled by Darcy who lived a few paddocks away over in Matarikoriko Road.  Darcy lived opposite the Hungaririki Marae and the nearby lands were part of his playground.
