Coldstream

The ceremony dates back to the 17th Century and sees regimental colours being displayed in front of the monarch - with the colours of the Coldstream Guards to be presented this year.

In full ceremonial dress, the oldest continuously serving regiment in the British Army paraded through the border town with the Band of the Coldstream Guards.

To mark the 375th anniversary of the regiment's formation, the Coldstream Guards boarded a train in London and travelled back to its birthplace in Berwick-upon-Tweed, where crowds lined the streets to welcome the guardsmen home.

It’s all part of director Rob Coldstream’s distinctive approach to retelling the story of the war.

“We watched 400 Vietnam documentaries, and some are amazing — the Ken Burns series is incredible — but we didn’t think we’d seen any that first and foremost really got you inside the human experience,” Coldstream says.
