The media was saying during the wedding that the red uniform actually represented the IRISH guards, not the Welsh.
Yes thats correct, my wife took great pleasure in correcting me...

well at least there is one important point in this discussion!!
But in fact the red uniform represents the British Army - not any particular regiment.
the individual regiments are represented (identified) by various accouterments on the uniform.
In the cases of the Welsh and Irish Guards the Welsh Guards have their buttons in groups of 5 and wear a green and white plume. The Irish have their buttons in groups of 4 and wear a blue plume.

As a young American I travelled to the UK to attend a prestigious university. 25 years later, a beautiful British family of my own, a long and successful career and a good few British friends I've seen it all in this country. At no point in that entire quarter of a century has a friend invited me out to "partake in the drinking of blood from skulls." Not once. I feel it must be because I have not been accepted as "one of them" yet even though I drink tea (no colonial coffee here!) and have my toast done on one side. I must double my efforts to fit in!
I have been introduced to the delightful "Black Pudding" though. Quite the delicacy as long as you don't know what it is!
Nobody thinks he's out of the ordinary? He's normal?
That's what he wants you to think!!!...
My point is drinking blood from a skull would only be done by someone who has demonic/devilish attributes..
