Demoted for trying to head butt a drummer :)

On this day 2009 William Windsor (Billy), the goat of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Welsh, retired due to old age. Soldiers from the battalion lined the route from his pen to the trailer as he left the camp for the last time.

* Billy was not regarded as a mascot but a serving lance corporal. His duty was to march at the head of the battalion on ceremonial occasions.

* The tradition of the goat originated in 1775 when a wild goat walked onto the battlefield during the Battle of Bunker Hill in the American Revolutionary War.

* Billy was demoted to fusilier for a three-month period in 2006 after inappropriate behaviour during the Queen's Official Birthday Celebrations, when he failed to keep in step and tried to headbutt a drummer.

* The royal goat herd was presented to the Queen by the Shah of Persia, and they are kept on Llandudno's Great Orme.

* His replacement, also called William Windsor, began as a fusilier whilst being trained for military life, receiving a ration of two ci******es per day, which he eats. However, he is not permitted Guinness until he is older.
