In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

Cute question. Do you mean on the same horse? Pippin did, notably. Were there others?

Merry also... before the Palantir incident. And Faramir, after being wounded, I think.

nice teamwork... i'd tend to give the next question to diamond, since i find gimli is usually forgotten the most (though faramir is a close second)

Fairbarns are indeed one. Gamgee and Cotton are not what I'm looking for.
