The King presented New Colours to the Irish Guards ahead of Trooping the Colour. Charles, who is Colonel in Chief of the seven Guards regiments of the Household Division, wore his Field Marshall's uniform and medals as he inspected the guardsmen on parade at Windsor Castle. The Chaplain General then consecrated the colours with a blessing. Report by Kennedyl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

01:38It's been a remarkable 84 years since my grandfather, King George VI,
01:45presented new colours to the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards,
01:50in Wellington Barracks during the opening months of the Second World War.
01:56After that terrible war, which signalled anniversaries,
02:01we are in the midst of memories.
02:04The 2nd Battalion has placed a suspended animation,
02:09which I'm delighted to say has been reinstated.
02:15Every guard standing here today is thus heir and successor to the great legacy.
