Name Dropping, Part Two


Lots of historical re-enactors in the costumes and uniforms
 of various periods of the Regiment's long and distinguished history
 were outside the Stadium where Her Majesty the Queen, 
as Commander-In-Chief of the Regiment,
 would shortly be inspecting her troops




Y Ddraig Coch - the Red Dragon,
 the national flag of Wales.



The parade enters the stadium.






Colonel Philip Napier, Colonel of the Regiment,
 with the  Lord Mayor of Cardiff.







The Queen inspecting her troops.




So much pageantry!





One of the Regimental Chaplains leading prayers 
and blessing the new Colours. 




The giant screens meant everyone could see what was happening, 
even though Her Majesty was far away.
