The Voice That Keeps No.10 On Its Toes [Published 15/05/1970] There’s not much danger of anyone oversleeping at 10 Downing Street these days. Not with this fellow going full blast. Senior Drum Major of the Coldstream Guards is the chap who shouts the orders for troops rehearsing for the Queen’s Birthday Parade on Horse Guards Parade – outside the back door of No.10. Rehearsals for the big parade on June 13 start at 7am most days and they reckon that, wind-assisted, Drum Major Kirk’s bark can rattle the windows at the Premier’s place. Mr Wilson is always up at this hour, as it happens. But ever quick to score a point, he says: “I have put up with it for the last five years. I can put up with it for the next five.”
