Punorama results
It's time for the winning entries in Punorama.
As ever, we gave you a story and you sent us punning headlines.
The story this week was that female soldiers took up posts guarding Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle for the first time ever. For centuries it has been a ceremonial role reserved exclusively for the boys. Five women from the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery marched into Windsor, while four from the Army Air Corps reported for duty at the Palace.
So how did you do? Helen Bourne and Helene Parry both sent in 21st sentry duty , with Girls just want to have gun from Stella. Ms Parry also contributed Sentry beauty, with Keeping a breast of the times from Lynne and Sarah - the latter from Trieste, Italy.
But how did you boys do? In the same vein as Helen/Helene was Turn of the sentry from Charles in the US. Stuart sent in The Coldcream Guards , while Stig and Lee Pike contributed Guns 'n' Roses. Then there was Adam and Eve in the Guardin' from Offshore Alan, Simon Rooke's Windsor change blowing through the ranks and Buckingham Alice from Marc...
... which leads on to another popular theme, which was to ditch any attempt at a pun and simply rework the AA Milne ditty. The best of the bunch was this from James: "They're changing sex at Buckingham Palace, Christopher Robin has swopped with Alice, Alice is now one of the Guard, A soldier's life isn't all that hard, says Alice."
Thanks to all who entered. Enjoyed that? Watch out on Thursday for a special speed caption competition to mark the Easter break.
