    A-DH-201-000/PT-000 CHAPTER 9 BATTALION CEREMONIAL SECTION 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1. While drill movements shall be performed the same by all so that the Canadian Armed Forces can march and manoeuvre as one to common words of command, commanders may adjust parade procedures according to circumstances and unit customs. For example: a. the battalion may form up in line, column or close column of companies, or mass depending on the size and shape of the parade ground; b. the companies may manoeuvre around the ground by forms, turns or wheels; and c. the march past may be in column of companies or column of route. 2. Protocol will be observed when planning a parade. In particular: a. senior individuals join a parade last and leave first, accompanied, in the case of reviewing dignitaries, by their retinue (the reviewing officer is to arrive last); and b. units will be formed up in order of precedence. 3. Protocol may be varied if justified by unique circumstances. For example, although normal precedence within a sized battalion is alphabetical by companies, on special occasions commanding officers may parade prize-winning companies on the right of the line, the position of honour. 4. Parades follow a common sequence as follows: a. The battalion is formed on parade, the officers fall in and the Colours are marched on. The battalion is now ready to carry out the tasks for which it has paraded. b. The tasks are completed. c. The Colours are marched off, the officers fall out and the troops are dismissed.

  • The Sovereign's Birthday Parade
    THE SOVEREIGNS’ BIRTHDAY PARADES - SNAPSHOTS OVER TWO CENTURIES By Colin Dean, former Band Secretary, Irish Guards The origins of the parade popularly known as Trooping the Colour are believed to date from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Guard Mounting took place daily on Horse Guards Parade prior to the King’s (or Queen’s) Guard for the day marching to St. James’s Palace (later Buckingham Palace) to take over the duties. The custom developed of augmenting this parade on the Sovereign’s birthday by including the flank companies from the three regiments of the Brigade of Guards, as well as the Household Cavalry who took part prior to riding under the arch to become the King’s (or Queen’s) Life Guard. King George III 1809: A report in the Morning Post of the 19th January 1809 makes what appears to be the first documented reference to the three Foot Guards bands being together on Horse Guards Parade: ‘Yesterday morning the Duke of Gloucester attended with the Dukes of York and Cambridge, on the Parade in St. James’s Park, to inspect the battalion of Grenadiers*, previous to their mounting guard. At the same time a very novel and grand military spectacle was exhibited, as we believe, never was displayed before; the whole of the numerous Bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attended, with new state uniforms on. The first and second Bands wore new jockey velvet caps; the three Bands marched as far as the entrance to the Stable-yard; the first and third Bands went on with the King’s Guard, and the second proceeded to the Queen’s Guard, near the Queen’s Palace’.

I get lots of questions from readers about which books I recommend for their growing collections, so I thought I'd do one better and review some of the major books here at The Court Jeweller. First off, the specs. This book is deceptively small, but it includes pages of information about the diamonds in the British royal collection, along with detailed photographs of selected pieces. The book itself was published by Diamonds: a Jubilee Celebration Royal Collection Trust as a "souvenir album" and companion to the summer exhibition of the queen's diamonds at Buckingham Palace. It's not the big, comprehensive book to come out of the Diamond Jubilee -- that would be Hugh Roberts's excellent The Queen's Diamonds. But this one is considerably lighter, smaller, and less expensive. If you're new to the world of British Diamonds: a Jubilee Celebration jewels, I would start here rather than splashing out the money for Roberts's book. If you like this one, the bigger one will definitely also be your cup of tea. If you've already got the Roberts book, though, I'm not sure you need this one, too. The book features approximately twenty of the most significant and historical diamond pieces currently in the Royal Collection, including crowns, tiaras, necklaces, earrings, brooches, and bracelets.

The roll call of jubilee gardens, coronation parks, queen’s parks and parks named after princes and princesses reflect these special associations from the Victorian era to modern times. Many of these parks and gardens are of special historic interest and protected by designations. Over the last 15 years, moreover, many of them have been beautifully restored with funding from the Lottery. They and other parks throughout the country will in turn be the focal points for numerous local 2012 Diamond Jubilee celebrations, which is why this seems a timely moment to look back at the long and fascinating story of parks and jubilees.

  • Customs and Traditions of the Canadian
    6 Mourning Observances Down through the centuries of human history, there have been many customs related to death and mourning, partly owing to religious belief and partly because of the prevalence of superstition. There is little doubt that much of the concern for the departed was, and still is, related to the sheer mystery of life and death. A few of the customs connected with grief and mourning are still to be seen in both civilian and military life today, and one of these is the use of black fabric as a symbol of mourning. The sombreness of black has long been linked with subdued sound as, for example, in the use of black shrouds to muffle the drums of the funeral pro- cession, or the muffling of oars when the bier is being moved by barge. An example of the muffling of drums more than two centuries ago is to be seen in an order relating to the death of Princess Elizabeth in England in 1759: "The Baize to cover the drums and the Crapes for the Officers' Sashes will be delivered out of the Great Wardrobe in Scotland Yard."1 Today, the drum is muffled by encasing it in a piece of black fabric having a draw-string, thus damping the sound. Muffled oars, in the funeral context, are seldom seen now, but when this kind of ceremonial procession is carried out, as in the case of some famous seaman, black canvas or matting is wrapped round the loom of the oars. This muffles the creaking sound of oars against thole-pins or rowlocks in precisely the same way as a sailor's jersey did when cutting out a ship from under an enemy shore battery, or, nowadays, when rowing guard in harbour on a dark night.

  • 'With One Accord Rejoice on This Glad Day'
    New Zealand Journal of History, 36, 2 (2002) Alison Clarke 'With one accord rejoice on this glad day' CELEBRATING THE MONARCHY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY OTAGO* ON 22 MARCH 1868 an Otago Daily Times Sunday extra informed a shocked public of the attempted assassination of Queen Victoria's second son. Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke had been shot by Henry O'Farrell, an alleged Fenian, while visiting New South Wales. Described by the Otago Witness as 'one of the foulest attempts at assassination that ever disgraced the annals of even crime itself, the event created a huge upsurge of loyalty to the crown throughout the colonies. Otago Superintendent James Macandrew organized a 'great open-air meeting' where the community expressed its indignation at the attempted assassination. Various local notables addressed the meeting, all declaring their horror at O'Farrell's act, and their loyalty to the crown.1 Two months later, on the Queen's birthday, that traditional occasion for displaying allegiance to royalty, the citizens of Dunedin demonstrated their support for the monarchy once more. The holiday commenced as usual with a Volunteer muster, parade and royal salute. Despite appalling weather, a crowd of perhaps 2000 people then gathered for a 'public expression of loyalty and attachment to the Queen' and 'of sympathy with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh'.2 Although historians of nineteenth-century New Zealand have tended to dismiss the significance of such displays of royalist sentiment, there is a growing body of work on royal commemoration
