The Papers: 'Best of Britain' and the country on a 'war footing'

This Sunday, British newspapers are buzzing with a mix of patriotic celebration and serious undertones. The Trooping of the Colour—a dazzling military parade marking the King’s official birthday—takes center stage, with headlines hailing it as a showcase of "the best of Britain." But alongside the pomp, there’s talk of the UK being on a "war footing," hinting at growing concerns over global tensions or domestic challenges. It’s a curious contrast: one moment, Union Jacks and royal splendor; the next, sober warnings about the nation’s readiness for crisis.
