Just to let you know, there is no U in Osborne House and of course only one Colour decorated - The Union Colour - the Queen’s Colour 1/24th. Although the Colour Party did have the Regimental Colour of the 1st Battlion present at the ceremony. The Ensign carrying the Queen’s Colour was Lt W Weallens. Date 28 July 1880.
