    This scene is genius because everyone was hunting something, whether it be lobster, fish, or pheasants, not realizing that they themselves, the royal family, was also being hunted.

      The monarch is allowed to go on planned excursions I’m sure some security was with her, but mainly she was spending time with her family. She should have been having a nice peaceful day. With so many people rushing to get that can only mean something happened and they are bringing her LOADS more protection or dignitaries to speak to her IMMEDIATELY. That can never be good. Otherwise they could just wait until she returns

    I met the boat handler (captain) in Donegal once and he told me he should of been on that boat that day. Thankfully he wasn’t on that boat. His brother lived in England and was getting married and wanted him to be best man. Unfortunately he couldn’t afford the tickets to England but on the day of the explosion he headed to catch his flight as he be out her paid.
    I’ve also stood where the IRA was most likely watching the boat from the sore. Was a eerie feeling.

      Four of my uncles (all now passed on in the old age) fought in WW2- two in the army, 1 in the navy and one in Air Force. They weren't at Dieppe, the disastrous raid that was planned and overseen by Mountbatten and observed from offshore by Lt.Ian Fleming (yes, that one). Louis Mountbatten was not considered a hero in Canada, that's for sure.
      From Wiki...
      ..."He was central in the planning and promotion of the raid on the port of Dieppe. The raid was a marked failure, with casualties of almost 60%, the great majority of them Canadians.[32] Following the Dieppe Raid, Mountbatten became a controversial figure in Canada, with the Royal Canadian Legion distancing itself from him during his visits there during his later career.[43] His relations with Canadian veterans, who blamed him for the losses, "remained frosty" after the war.[44]"

      In 2019, files became public showing that the FBI knew in the 1940s of allegations that Mountbatten was homosexual and a paedophile.[127] The FBI file on Mountbatten, begun after he took on the role of Supreme Allied Commander in Southeast Asia in 1944, describes Mountbatten and his wife Edwina as "persons of extremely low morals", and contains a claim by American author Elizabeth, Baroness Decies, that Mountbatten was known to be a homosexual and had "a perversion for young boys".[125][128] Norman Nield, Mountbatten's driver from 1942 to 1943, told the tabloid New Zealand Truth that he transported young boys aged 8 to 12 who had been procured for the Admiral to Mountbatten's official residence and was paid to keep quiet. Robin Bryans had also claimed to the Irish magazine Now that Mountbatten and Anthony Blunt, along with others, were part of a ring that engaged in homosexual orgies and procured boys in their first year at public schools such as the Portora Royal School in Enniskillen. Former residents of the Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast have asserted that they were trafficked to Mountbatten at Classiebawn Castle, his residence in Mullaghmore, County Sligo.

    I remember reports that the Irish government at the time was quietly relieved at it being on record that Lord Mountbatten himself had refused (as unnecessary) an offer of 24 hour Irish Police surveillance, which would have included a watch on his boat making it near impossible to plant that bomb. Otherwise the Irish government/people and not just the IRA would have been blamed by British opinion (which is probably what the IRA wanted - i.e. a serious escalation of conflict).

Subsequently we were the guard for Navy Days in Plymouth over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The news of Mountbattens murder came through on the last day of Navy Days and within an hour of marching off we were on coaches heading to HMS Excellent in Portsmouth where we began training to pull the funereal gun carriage for Mountbattens funeral.

      We found out the news of his death on Monday 27th August and that evening we were taken by coach to HMS Excellent in Portsmouth which was the Ceremonial Training Establishment for the Navy. The following day we were split into the three teams that were required which were Gun Carriage Crew (140 men) plus the Naval escort (150 men) and the bearer parties, plus associated Officers and Senior rates which meant, all in all there were over 350 personnel. The men were brought in from all over the country but as we from Plymouth had formed the Royal Guard for the Queen Mother we were the nucleus of the gun carriage crew. Also in the GCC were senior rates who wore junior rates uniform just for the honour of participating.
      After day one of sorting and sizing all the ratings we were taken every day of training to Eastney barracks in Portsmouth for the actual training - usually 9 hours a day - as Eastney had an archway the same size as Horseguards Arch which was important as the crew had to reduce ranks to pass through the arch so this was vital training for the day.
      We trained in Portsmouth with a practice gun carriage for just four days before moving en masse to London, staying at Pirbright barracks, for three rehearsals on 2nd, 3rd and 4th September marching the route with the gun carriage at 5 am on the first 2 days and 3 am on the 3rd day.
      Day of the funeral we were taken into London in five coaches at 6am with a full Police escort which, at some points, meant us being driven at top speed down the wrong side of dual carriageways, going through red traffic lights and even round roundabouts the wrong way. Finally being dropped off at the Royal Mews where the ceremonial gun carriage was prepared for the day. The wonderful personnel at the Royal Mews supplied us with copious quantities of tea and biscuits and opened up the mews for us to look round all the state carriages used by the Royal Family.
      The memory of the day of the funeral is still etched in my mind, the most significant memory is that, except for the sound of the band preceding us, everything was silent. No noise from the thousands of public who lined the streets to watch the funeral.
      After the coffin was taken into Westminster Abbey, we marched off round the corner where our coaches were waiting and were immediately whisked off back to Portsmouth.

Robin Bryans had also claimed to the Irish magazine Now that Mountbatten and Anthony Blunt, along with others, were part of a ring that engaged in homosexual orgies and procured boys in their first year at public schools such as the Portora Royal School in Enniskillen. Former residents of the Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast have asserted that they were trafficked to Mountbatten at Classiebawn Castle, his residence in Mullaghmore, County Sligo.

    I remember when this happened, and reading that Mountbatten, who still loathed the Japanese for their methods and treatment of British prisoners in Burma and Asia in WW2, had insisted that no Japanese officals be in attendance at his funeral. In another story, I think he was the British Raj top dog at the time of Indian independence in 1947, and its civil war leading to the creation of Pakistan. Some time after, he and Lady Mountbatten went to Pakistan to visit its first independent ruler, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who was known to be a massive stiff. Jinnah had prepared a cute little line to say with them in front of the cameras, expecting that LM would stand between himself and Lord Mountbatten for an official photo. Instead, they positioned Jinnah between themselves, but being a stiff, he said the line anyway, which was, "Ha ha, a rose between two thorns." And there was general discomfort all around. 😂

Don't get me wrong, the US gave significant relief and helped mop up/ end the war quicker. But the fact they joined late cost so many lives when they could have helped prevent it. The UK only recently finished paying them back financially. It was like handing over the keys of the empire. So always quite insulting to suggest the yanks won the war when they absolutely did not. They basically missed what would be considered the war.

Also, when Gandhi was assassinated, he prevented a bloodbath by yelling to the crowd that it was a Hindu who killed him. Quick thinking on his part, as no one knew anything in the first moments. But because of his position, people assumed that he had insider information, & believed him.

      He and his family had been holidaying there for years and were well-liked by the local community. He was long retired from government and had never been involved in any matters pertaining to the governance of Ireland or Northern Ireland. He, his mother, his daughter, son-in-law, two grandsons, and their friend, the boat boy, were all innocent. But he had been very cavalier refusing security, despite repeated warnings from both Ireland and the UK. The cowardly IRA men watched the boat leave the harbour and despite seeing and knowing that entirely innocent women and children were onboard triggered the bomb by remote control. The attack was widely condemned throughout Ireland, as well as in Britain.

      @@andywilliams7323In 2019, files became public showing that the FBI knew in the 1940s of allegations that Mountbatten was homosexual and a paedophile.[127] The FBI file on Mountbatten, begun after he took on the role of Supreme Allied Commander in Southeast Asia in 1944, describes Mountbatten and his wife Edwina as "persons of extremely low morals", and contains a claim by American author Elizabeth, Baroness Decies, that Mountbatten was known to be a homosexual and had "a perversion for young boys".[125][128] Norman Nield, Mountbatten's driver from 1942 to 1943, told the tabloid New Zealand Truth that he transported young boys aged 8 to 12 who had been procured for the Admiral to Mountbatten's official residence and was paid to keep quiet. Robin Bryans had also claimed to the Irish magazine Now that Mountbatten and Anthony Blunt, along with others, were part of a ring that engaged in homosexual orgies and procured boys in their first year at public schools such as the Portora Royal School in Enniskillen. Former residents of the Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast have asserted that they were trafficked to Mountbatten at Classiebawn Castle, his residence in Mullaghmore, County Sligo.

    I remember that Mountbatten had quite a long television series on BBC where he give an account of his career. It must have been in one of the last episodes where he was shown at this place on the West coast of Ireland - he was seen making sandcastles with his grandchildren on the beach at one point. At the time I did get the feeling that it was slightly odd that he should have been there. I have often wondered whether because of that episode showing such a well-known royal who apparently often spent holidays there, that it was just too blatent for the IRA and it was a target they could no longer ignore. Much later there was a programme on Radio Four, where the Irish authorities gave their side of the story. It was a shock for them as well and initially they weren't at all sure about how to handle their British counterparts. Building trust and confidence between the two sides wasn't easy. There had been rumours that the IRA were planning what they called 'a spectacular', but it had been impossible, even for the Gardai, to predict when and where.

The whole ugly business was white washed by the then Government but the free World knew what had really happened and the Crime was apologised for in later years when the Peace process was achieved for that troubled land .
