Anyone else think it ironic that the Grenadier Guards led the parade?

(Not my period but didn't they get their name - incorrectly - from
Waterloo?)

Nearly as good as the the Eurostar terminus of the same name...

It certainly made me chuckle

after all when was the last time a parade went down the Champs Elysee
containing the grenadier guards, the household cavalry, the RHA and a
bunch of marines? 1815?
