TROOPING THE COLOUR

The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is now a well-established and popular event.  Yet few people realise the significance which lies behind the stately drill.

In the very earliest days, colours were used as rallying points in battle.  Each leader had its own device around which his followers assembled, and it eventually became the custom for each company to have its own distinguishing flag.  These were gradually eliminated in favour of battalion colours, though their purpose of marking a rallying point remained unaltered.
