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

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. .

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.

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! |
