LONDON - APRIL 15: Retired Gurkha soldiers salute a photograph of Queen Elizabeth II outside the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal on April 15, 2008 in London. The Tribunal is hearing an appeal by 15 British Army Gurkha soldiers over the Government’s refusal to allow them to settle in the United Kingdom. Gurkhas who retired before July 1997 are automatically allowed to stay, but 2000 soldiers in Nepal have been refused the right of settlement in the UK. (Photo by Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
