Soldiers faint in scorching London heat as Prince William inspects troops

Several British soldiers were overcome by the heat on Saturday as they turned out in woollen tunics and bearskin hats for parade rehearsals in London led by Prince William.

At least three guardsmen fainted during the military parade known as the Colonel’s Review, in which more than 1,400 soldiers of the Household Division and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery were reviewed by the heir to the throne, who is honorary Colonel of the Welsh Guards.

The temperature in London on Saturday hit 30c.

Afterwards, Prince William tweeted: “A big thank you to every solider who took part in the Colonel’s Review this morning in the heat. Difficult conditions but you all did a really good job.”

"the film’s genre proves as fluid as Lydia’s developing identity, caught between an oppressive, inherited history and an uncertain future."

Started feeling faint.

Realised had forgotten to eat lunch again. (A banana and yoghurt isn’t enough, is it?!)

Now having an open sandwich.

Silly me.

The heat doesn’t help.

Aging Tip: At 68 I found myself feeling faint after a hot shower. Sometimes, I wouldn’t feel faint, but weak, like the stuffing had been kicked out of me, and I was sleepy & lethargic for the rest of the day. Then (eureka) I found that if I ate first & hydrated, it was no longer a problem. #NotADoctor #Fainting #Blackout #Dizzy #Elderly #Boomer #Syncope #Seniors

@fitheach I fainted once. I was sitting on the balcony reading #ThomasPynchon 's "V", a bit low on energy as I hadn't eaten. About midway through the detailed discription of a #rhinoplasty , I became aware that I was not just disgusted but physically light-headed. I headed inside to lie down, but collapsed en route.
