TROOPING THE COLOUR 1980 - 1ST BATTALION IRISH GUARDS
LIVE CD without commentary (52 minutes) or see below.
This year saw the 1st Battalion Irish Guards Troop their Colour. It was the first time since 1939 that only 6 Guards were on Parade. The Escort and No 2 Guard were found by The 1st Battalion Irish Guards, No 3 and 4 Guard by 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards and No 5 and 6 Guard by 1st Battalion Welsh Guards.
The Colour being Trooped today was presented to the Irish Guards 2 years ago at Windsor Castle. There are two new Drum Horses taking part in the ceremony for the first time today.
