The Queen smiles as she leaves Dreghorn Barracks in Edinburgh after presenting the Royal Regiment of Scotland, with a Pipe Banner.
The Queen has visited an army barracks to present a pipe banner to the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
She viewed a parade led by the regimental band before presenting the decorative flag at Dreghorn Barracks in Edinburgh. The new banner will be carried when the band plays at high-profile events and state occasions.
The queen, who is colonel-in-chief of the regiment, previously presented colours to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th Battalions of the regiment in Edinburgh two years ago.
The 4th Battalion, which was serving in Afghanistan at that time, received its colours at a later date. Colours from all seven battalions were presented, in what Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Graham described as a “historic occasion”.
He said: “To take part in the parade makes this occasion truly unique and historic.”
