The Grenadier Guards returned from Afghanistan just two weeks ago, but they were back on duty today as they received their new colours from the Queen. They had a difficult tour. In November, they lost three men when a rogue policemen opened fire at a checkpoint. But this was the chance to look ahead to June when the guardsmen will be Trooping the Colour at the Queens Birthday Parade. Kaija Larke was at Wellington barracks today when the Queen came to visit.
Wow, that photo shoot must have been fantastic.
I love the way the drummers are in a triangle formation in the centre.
