Our Regular and Reserve Battalions have been busy marching on the parade square as well as in some of Yorkshire’s great towns and cities. Colours are carried on all ceremonial parades and are seen as the spiritual heart of a Line Infantry Battalion.

Here you can see the Colour Party of our 2nd Battalion formed up front and centre of the Battalion. The Sovereign’s Colour, carried on the right, holds 43 selected Battle Honours from the World Wars. The Regimental Colour, carried on the left, holds 42 non-World War Battle Honours. Our Honorary Colours are also carried by the 2nd Battalion here.

The Colour Party’s core purpose is to provide the security of the colours, and to ensure that they are appropriately looked after in the build up to, whilst on parade, and then following the parade. Fortune Favours The Brave.
