01:38It's been a remarkable 84 years since my grandfather, King George VI,

01:45presented new colours to the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards,

01:50in Wellington Barracks during the opening months of the Second World War.

01:56After that terrible war, which signalled anniversaries,

02:01we are in the midst of memories.

02:04The 2nd Battalion has placed a suspended animation,

02:09which I'm delighted to say has been reinstated.

02:15Every guard standing here today is thus heir and successor to the great legacy.
