god no!

He's a Pearly King, London's East End, Cockneys.

I don't know the story. I know nowadays the Pearlies are a charitable organisation and raise money for London based charities. Their motto is 'One never knows'. I think that's right. 🤔

I think a lot of them are / were costermongers - peeps who sold stuff on street stalls. Mostly the fruit and veg peeps. Again, not sure if I'm remembering that correctly.
 
@Agonum

I don’t know why they brawl, I guess it is regular weekend activity in bars, soldiers are macho and some locals probably want to challenge them for a good fight when drunk.

@Fuzball

It is not a parody, what you see is 100% truth. There is more, one of our military trucks broke down on the parade as well, needing repairs on the spot. 🤣

I suppose the question should rather be “what did not happen?” To which the answer is: sleep.

However, all isn’t lost! I watched the entire mini-series (eight episodes) 𝖱 ɪ ᴘ ʟ ᴇ ʏ (starring Andrew Scott) and enjoyed it quite a bit! I think Mr Scott is a very good actor, you see.

Andrew Scott, proud Irishman.

He was also brilliant in the role of Jim Moriarty in BBC’s Sherlock (2010; starring Benedict Cumberbatch – another gifted actor).
