Queens Birthday Parade
Whilst watching the parade this morning I was surprised to see that the Major I/C Kings Troop RHA, a female officer, was wearing a full dress RA Sabretache.
As these were abolished exactly 120 years ago I was pleasantly surprised to see it worn. Has it always been worn by the RHA and I have just not noticed or is it something new? regards |

The one on show certainly looked very new, they must have just copied an original without regard to the correct Crown? regards |

Think you are right Simon,
Simon, |
He came out with the Queen's party and left with them.
One thing did confuse me , he did not salute when the Queen stepped down from the dias (but did salute when the colours passed) and she did not stop and talk to him. :confused: . |
The Sabretache worn by the CO of "The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery" was borrowed (and still is on loan) from the RA Museum many years ago.

I only dipped into coverage, didn't watch the whole thing - who was the poor chap using his sword as a walking stick?
|
Duke of Kent or similar?
|
Yes, Duke of Kent, didn't look too good I'm afraid.
Simon. |
Indeed the Duke of Kent (aged 85) who is Colonel in Chief of the Scots Guards who were trooping their colour.
The Duke had a mild stroke on the morning of 18 March 2013 then in April 2015, he then suffered from a hip injury and was hospitalised at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for further treatments. No sign of Prince Charles! |
I did notice that the chap playing the cymbals did not wear a white belt but all tha others did, is there a reason for this anonamaly.?
