As a former soldier I always cringe at the spastic berets that actors wear in movies and tv.
A real British military beret goes like this: The right side is pushed flat down towards your ear, the front rim goes just above the brow and the back sits loosely on top of your head, so that the sides are slanted at around a 20 degree angle. No self-respecting Para would wear that turd that he wore at the funeral.

Agreed. You'd have thought the costume departments for films would have sorted this out, but the number of films with soldiers wearing inflated meringues on their heads defies belief. From my memories of my military days, we were advised to soak the beret in water, shape it to your head and wear it like that for half an hour or so. Once it dried out, it was shrunk to size and fitted just right.
You seem like the person to ask, what regiment does Richard belong to? I'd love to know. Thanks if you read this after three years!
