Irish Guards performing the ceremony of the 'Trooping the Colour' at Slagelse Tattoo, Denmark, 1982. One of the few (if not the only) times this ceremony has been shown at a tattoo - and on grass. The audience was thrilled, I remember. The idea was, insted of showing an artificial drill show, then to show a real ceremony, which not many Danes will be able to attend. The massed bands of the Kings Own Border Regiment, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and Pipes & Drums of the Irish Guards, lead by Drummajor Dean and directed by Major Gordon Turner, the Royal Signals,.are dooing a marvellous job.
