Last Saturday was Trooping the Colour, this year being the 2nd Battalion, Coldstream Guards, who are also celebrating their 375th anniversary since their founding in 1650. They are the longest continuously serving regiment in the British Army. If you missed it, you can see it all on BBC iPlayer, with and without commentary.

The oldest continuously serving regiment is my old mob, The Honourable Artillery Company.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, it is not something I knew! The HAC is indeed older by a long way! If anyone is interested, Wikipedia has a good entry.
