The Queen presented new Colours to the 1st Battalion at Beachley Barracks, Chepstow. Following a dress rehearsal on the previous day in bright sunshine the presentation itself took place in appalling conditions. The parade included detachments from 3 RWF, the Cadet battalions and the Comrades. The Queen was received in the Sergeants’ Mess and later had lunch with members of the Regiment and their guests.
