Chelsea Pensioners, British veteren sold
Chelsea Pensioners, British veteren soldiers, sit wearing their oak leaf sprigs during the annual Founder's Day Parade at the Royal Chelsea Hospital in London on June 7, 2012. In-Pensioners at the Royal Chelsea Hospital were inspected by the Countess of Wessex today during their annual Founder's Day. The hospital has been caring for British veterens since it was founded by King Charles II in 1682 and is currently home to some 300 pensioners all of which have served in the British Army and are over 65 years of age. All participants in the parade wear sprigs of oak leaves to commemorate the escape of the future King Charles II after defeat in a 1651 battle by hiding in the Royal Oak.
