London,England - 27.04.2023: KING CHARLES lll
presented new standards and colours to the Royal Navy, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and Grenadier Guards from the British Army, and the Royal Air Force at Buckingham Palace, London
The four emblems have been specially produced for His Majesty’s Coronation owing to their special relevance to the Sovereign.
Standards and Colours cannot be used on parade (or in battle) until they have been consecrated, so two traditional ceremonies of prayers and blessings were held in Buckingham Palace today for the presentation of the ceremonial flags of all three services. The blessing was given to the Standards, Colours, and all who will bear and serve under them.
As Camilla, The Queen Consort was made Regimental Colonel of the Grenadier Guards in December last year she joined the King for the second Colours presentation ceremony. Members of the British Army displayed the new Sovereign’s CRIII cypher on their uniform.
