From the Regiment's Facebook page:

Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers from Regimental Headquarters and all 5 Squadrons of The Royal Wessex Yeomanry, paraded in glorious summer sunshine in the grounds of Lulworth Castle.

It has been an event in the making for the last 47 years as up till now there have been individual Squadron Guidon’s. Sunday 8th July 2018 therefore marks the day that The Royal Wessex Yeomanry joined all of its battle honours, all 42 of them, on to one new Guidon. See an earlier post.

The Royal Regimental Honorary Colonel, His Royal Highness Prince Edward, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, presented the Guidon to the Regiment during a traditional military Drumhead Service conducted by the Army’s Chaplain General, The Reverend Doctor David George Coulter QHC CB.

Thanks must be extended to Weld Family at the Lulworth Estate for allowing the Regiment to Parade within grounds of Lulworth Castle and to the Band of the Royal Yeomanry

It was a great day for the Regiment, the Regimental family and the Combined Old Comrades Associations and one that we will remember for many years.
