Mixing humour with pathos he provides a fascinating account
of his service life – his Yorkshire roots always evident. Upon retirement from
the Coldstream Guards he became Staff Superintendent at the House of Lords. His
numerous anecdotes of well-known public figures, including a fascinating
perspective on Baroness Thatcher, give a unique behind-the-scenes picture of
this great institution.
Throughout the book Peter Horsfall credits his success to the
Coldstream Guards and is proud to have lived up to the regiment’s motto, Second
To None.
This is a delightful and highly readable autobiography complemented
beautifully by Bill Tidy’s apposite cartoons.
Reviews
An interesting life in
the Army and at the House of Lords-
Covers
his life from joining the Guards as a youngster, working up through the ranks
to Major, to his years as Staff Superintendent at the House of Lords. Full of
annecdotes about army colleagues and encounters with noted political and royal
figures - not just lords, but also Thatcher, Heseltine, and others. An
enjoyable and interesting read.
A Customer
A highly entertaining read- look
forward to the sequel-
A rags
to riches story. An insightful book full of witty anecdotes about military life
followed by a life of hobnobbing with celebrities and politicians. This new
writer clearly has a promising future. He is a credit to his regiment.
