The soldiers of 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards have undergone one of the toughest inspections in the British Army. Major General Ben Bathurst, who commands the Household Division, not only examined their uniforms and drill but also tested them on their military knowledge. It’s all part of preparations for the Queen’s Birthday parade in June when the Regiment will be Trooping its Colour.

I joined the Coldstream Guards in 1963 when discipline and standards were a lot tougher, we were in Aden from 1964 to 65. Great Regiment, I would re-join today if they need me (don’t suppose they would as I’m 74 now!).

6. The Royal Scots (1633) Formed by Charles I to fight for France in the Thirty Years' War, the Scots are the oldest Regiment in the regular Army. During a good-natured argument over seniority with the French Picardie regiment in the seventeenth century, the Scots claimed to be descended from the Roman unit that guarded Jesus' tomb. Not to be bettered, the French replied that had they been on guard instead, Jesus' body would not have gone missing. Thus they gained the nickname 'Pontius Pilate's Bodyguard
