Tamzin’s 21st Birthday ~ WISBECH

Troops like this are the best, and what a lovely little troop this was!

Imperial presence was required to greet guests as they arrived to Tamzin’s surprise 21st birthday party. This was if course executed with Imperial precision 😉

When the birthday girl arrived, “Happy Birthday” was played, then the “Imperial March” followed. Suddenly Tamzin had a group of TK’s behind her! At first she was very overwhelmed to say the least, but she gradually came round and just loved us being there.

At the end of the evening Tim presented Tamzin with a UKG pin which will take pride of place in her Star Wars caravan/den.

Well done to Chris, Mark and Tim for making a memory that Tamzin and her family will certainly remember for years to come.

Futures Festival @ Pinewood Studios

What a fantastic couple of days at Pinewood Studios adding Imperial Presence to the Futures Festival on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th November, 2022

Our changing room was none other than the 007 Sound Stage!

We were certainly looked after by the studio with hot breakfast baps and lunch with real fruit!

Anyway, here are a few pictures….

London Leicester Square Odeon

TK3493 was looking after a TK and TIE who were deployed to keep order and maintain discipline at London’s Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square.

This was to ensure that ticket releases for The Rise of Skywalker went to Imperial plan.

Return of the Garrison @ NSC

The annual 501st UK Garrison event was again held at the National Space Centre this weekend, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The recorded temperature was extremely high, but that did not stop the costumes coming out and the audience being impressed.

I took the opportunity to nab a few TIE Fighter Pilots, and Darth Vader himself for a sneaky photoshoot to practice my low light skills, and here’s the results.

And I also managed to get kitted up myself!

Revenge of the Sith 05-May-2019

That was a most enjoyable troop with the 501st UK Garrison and R2 Builders.

It was great to see both old and new faces. It was equally as great to get out in IN, IC and TI. Three costumes, sorted!

The Blues Harvest band were fantastic. I couldn’t help but sing along under my helmet and tap a toe in my Knobelbechers.
