military honours

On Tuesday morning, the King and Queen will head to Canada's Senate accompanied by a royal escort, where they will receive full military honours - including a 100-person guard of honour from the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment, an inspection of the guard and the band, and a 21-gun salute.

All are interred with full military honours in ceremonies featuring a rifle salute and current soldiers from Scottish regiments.

“We go all the way through to the end result where we work with current regiments to bring together a fantastic, poignant ceremony where they are laid to rest with full military honours.”

Two British soldiers killed in Operation Market Garden were laid to rest earlier this week with full military honours in the Oosterbeek war graves cemetery, close to Ginkel Heath.

A soldier from North Yorkshire who was killed during World War Two has been laid to rest with full military honours 80 years after his death.
