Not sure if these were posted earlier but here they are.
For for the bit we we have seen of Jonny so far ... he rocked it! 
And he even looked straight at the camera in a few pictures!!! Bless the camera person who got him into so many frames! Here's to more wonderful sightings of our sweet Jonny on this trip

He did look like he was about to dive over the countertop at the cheese booth. Eyes totally fixated on the plate of samples. I remember feeling sorry for him because he looked like he was starving.Those who saw all the coverage from Germany might have noticed how amazingly animated Jonny became at the Food Market... and how suddenly he didn't seem to care about being in the background.
And that is, I think, probably too much said. Luckily I know you all appreciate him for the right reasons, and care about him.
Bed for me, so I am bright eyed and bushy tailed for tomorrow's schedule.
Night all.

Bet there is a cooler stashed away in the van, full of beverages and food. Probably chocolate bars too. Eat on the run and then jump out to catch up with the King. Or maybe he has a backpack stuffed with goodies.

This one is swoon-worthy. Yes. Smelling salts please!

What I am going to say is fairly strongly worded and is just my humble opinion and is all meant in a positive way as a huge shout out to Jonny for excellence.
At the Palace and the seating situation we saw Jonny in action. Command presence. His height is intimidating. The visual power of the uniform. The glittering gold and medals on his uniform. The white cross belt and crimson sash. Direct unwavering eye contact. Shoulders squared away and directly facing the staff. Complete situational awareness. All intended to present, even if unconsciously, quite an imposing presence when required. I for one would not want to be on the receiving end of that military/Equerry power if I mucked up something especially at a critical time. Notice the officers he is addressing seem to cower and drop eye contact. It all got sorted at lightning speed and looks like they parted amicably and Jonny would see that they did. As La Rhumba said, Jonny is "soft power". Today Jonny demonstrated "soft power" at its diplomatic best. Classic textbook example of successful high-tension de-escalation situational management. Perfection.
Okay, I'll get off my soap box now. Probably said too much but I'm going to leave it sitting here because it was gobsmacking impressive. My glass is raised

You definitely did not say too much. Thank you for taking the time to give us your thoughts.What I am going to say is fairly strongly worded and is just my humble opinion and is all meant in a positive way as a huge shout out to Jonny for excellence.

Your 'humble opinion' was exquisitely expressed, and impressive in its own right as a tribute to Jonny.
I am immensely grateful that, for once, Jonny was able to be seen as more than just a flower carrying follower, trailing behind the King and Queen. Without him using his considerable organisational ability, the King would not be able to do his job with the ease he does. Is it any wonder they have such a close relationship.
However, though his height looks imposing, you have to remember his footwear gives him and extra inch and a bit or so. He is actually 6'.
