In military weddings, especially those of commissioned officers, a guard, composed usually of service members of the same branch, form the Saber arch. In principle any military unit could act as a guard of honour. However, in some countries certain units are specially designated to serve as a guard of honour, as well as other public duties. Guards of Honour also serve in the civilian world for fallen police officers and other civil servants. Certain religious bodies, especially Churches of Honour Guard Anglican Communion and the Methodist movement, have the tradition of an Honour Guard Honour Guard the funeral of an ordained elder, in which all other ordained elders present "guard the line" between the door of the church and the grave, or hearse if the deceased is to be buried elsewhere or cremated.

    Assessorato Regionale, Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali Città di Acireale Lions Club Acireale e dell’Identità Siciliana Assessorato Regionale, Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali e dell’Identità Siciliana Città di Acireale Lions Club Acireale Collection of historical uniforms Ing. Aldo Scaccianoce Lions Club Acireale Anno Sociale 2012-2013 Presidente Rosario Musmeci Galatea Editrice - Acireale INTRODUCTION The collection of uniforms located in the Town Hall takes its name from the scholar Aldo Scaccianoce, who gathered each piece. The relics shown have a double significance: historical and artistic. Every piece has its own historical story to tell, as they have all been worn during events that have shaped European history over the course of the XIX century, while the nineteenth century has been pregnant with highly artistic cultural moments since the Napoleonic period. These relics, in fact, also give testimony of fashion, taste, make and aesthetic quality that make them real masterpieces of craftsmanship. The Assessorato ai Beni Culturali (Department of Cultural Heritage) of the Region of Sicily added the collection to its priceless patrimony in 1988, to avoid the dispersal of the important cultural collection. The exposition installation was done by the architect Giuseppe Anfuso. Within each single cabinet each relic preserves its historical, military and artistic relevance. PREFACE The work presented is born from the desire of the Lions Club Aci- reale to give service to the town of Acireale, favouring its tourism, and with it, its economy.

Could you provide this for Guardsmen, NCO's, Officer's and any other rank or appointment where there is a variation. In the past, the height of the Bearskin was based on the height of the soldier (for example Army Dress Regulations 1934 - para 683 provides different measurements based on the Officer's height). Is this still the case today? Is it also possible to provide this for any other Regiment still wearing Bearskins such as the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Including the White drummer bearskin), HAC & The Royal Highland Fusiliers?” I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence, and I can confirm that information in scope of your request is held. Army Dress Regulations Part 3 – Household Division states that the standard bearskin cap worn by officers of the 5 Regiments of Foot Guards is 11.5 inches at the front and 16 inches at the rear. Measurements for all Other Ranks (ORs) from Guardsman to Warrant Officer Class 1 are not specified.

These offices received assistance from the provincial governments at a total annual cost of $0.23 per person. Thus the total annual cost of the Lieutenant Governors’ service to The Queen is $0.29 per person, compared to $0.25 per person in the 2005 survey. • This fourth edition of The Cost of Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy calculates that the total cost of the Canadian Crown in 2006-2007 was $50,146,896 or $1.53 per Canadian.
