Including a commentary by Major J. B. S. BOURNE-MAY
The Ceremony opens with the arrival of the ROYAL PROCESSION and the ROYAL SALUTE
H.M. THE KING inspects the troops, after which the massed bands and drums of the BRIGADE OF GUARDS play a slow march, countermarch, halt, and play a quick march.
A Drummer beats the Drummers' Call, and the escort marches up to the Colour, the bands and drums playing the 'British Grenadiers.' The Sergeant-Major receives the Colour and hands it to the Ensign for the Colour. The escort salutes the Colour by presenting arms, the bands and drums playing 'GOD SAVE THE KING.'
Colour and escort march down the line of Guards, and the whole Parade marches past H.M. THE KING in slow time, and again in quick time, and finally forms up in line and gives the ROYAL SALUTE
THE HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY marches off. H.M. THE KING places himself at the head of the KING'S GUARD and the GUARDS march off to BUCKINGHAM PALACE, headed by the MASSED BANDS, DRUMS and Pipes
