In a Word NO! ShinyCapstar was first created in June 2001, with the main objective to have a 'user friendly' portal of Information to aid anyone interested in the Coldstream Guards (past, present & future) with help or advice when required. The site also functions (where possible) as a way of communication to relay messages to family and friends through the MESSAGE BOARD or through SAVE A STAMP (click the links for more information). You can also take advantage of the CONTACT WAIT-OUT database, where lost friends and colleagues can get in touch.
       Also, another note worth mentioning is although this site is extremely popular, you must note that it is an UNOFFICIAL WEBSITE. The official site for the Coldstream Guards can be found by clicking CLICKING HERE. Any images held on this web-site have been provided by kind permission from Coldstream Guards Regimental Headquarters, or submitted by users of ShinyCapstar.
