Royal Guard of Honour – The Royal Naval Reserve provided the Royal Guard of Honour at the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.   The guard paraded the Queen’s Colour of the Royal Naval Reserve in the Queen’s presence for the first time since it was presented in 2003, the year following her Golden Jubilee.
 

 

The Royal Guard of Honour greeted HM The Queen when she left the Royal Barge (SPIRIT OF CHARTWELL), as she arrived at HMS PRESIDENT, the London Headquarters of the Royal Naval Reserve, just by Tower Bridge.    Her  Majesty was escorted on board HMS PRESIDENT by the First Sea Lord (Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope GCB OBE RN), and the Commanding Officer HMS PRESIDENT (Commander Eugene Morgan RD RNR).
