So many happy memories from when i was a kid.
In my opinion the reason Labour cancelled the Royal Tournament is not because it didn't make any money, it was because it made us proud of our Military and gave us pride in our country.
The Royal Tournament gave us a sense of pride in the history of this country.
I remember my dad taking me when i was about 14 years old, and i loved it. I went nearly every year after that, and i wanted to take my kids to the Royal Tournament, but it was cancelled in 1999.
I believe the politicians should have a serious look at restarting the Royal Tournament and give this country a sense of pride again. If they are worried about the cost then organise it for every 2 years.

Way back when the tournament lasted 3 weeks, it did actually make money and this money was distributed through various charities.
Due to lots of people complaining about manpower shortages etc....it was shortened to 2 weeks. This was unfortunate because it used to take 2 weeks for the tournament to break even (in monetary terms), then the 3rd weeks made the charity money.
When it was reduced to 2 weeks, it just gave the people who wanted it scrapped more ammunition i.e "it doesn't make any money, therefore it cannot be justified".
