Sailors and Royal Marines are primed for Platinum Jubilee Pageant at Buckingham Palace


Royal Navy sailors and Royal Marines have carried out their final rehearsals ahead of major celebrations at Buckingham Palace marking the 70-year reign of The Queen.
More than 200 personnel, supported by the Royal Marines Corps of Drums, will march in London at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant alongside members of the Royal Air Force, British Army and military personnel from across the Commonwealth.

During final preparations at HMS Collingwood in Fareham, those taking part have spoken of their pride and excitement.

State ceremonial training officer, Warrant Officer Eddie Wearing, said: “A lot of effort has gone into preparation for the pageant event on Sunday. We want to make sure everything is perfect for Her Majesty.

“We want to be immaculate and that’s why we’ve been practising for weeks and ensuring our uniform and rifle drills are up to that standard.

“We want to do the event justice and make sure everyone gives a good impression of themselves. The Queen has been reigning 70 years and over the past 1,000 years of having a monarchy we’ve never had a platinum jubilee so it’s and important day.”

Sailors and marines will be involved in the first section of the pageant titled ‘Queen & Country’ alongside the other services but also personnel from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, Ghana, Belize, Jamaica and Sri Lanka.
