Prince Phillip on the reviewing stand on the field at the New Colours Parade, UBC, 3 June, 1962 From the Regimental History, pages 467 and 468: "Sunday, 3 June 1962, was a beautiful day with just enough breeze to wave the standard of Prince Philip. The public had started to fill the stands by 0900 hours and within an hour they were packed. Shortly thereafter the regiment's four guards marched to the playing fields accompanied by the Pipes and Drums as well as the band of the Royal Canadian Engineers from Chilliwack. The guards of fifty men each were commanded by Majors W. L. Roberts, CD, J.D. Pierce, CD, K. J. Course and T. U. O'Neil, CD. The Adjutant was Captain W. D. Holmes and the Regimental Sergeant Major was W.O. I. H. Bullock, CD. The Old Colour Party consisted of Lt. F. Boomer, C/Sgt. D. Cross, Sgt. M. McCann, Lt. D. Wilson and C/Sgt. R. Stewart; The New Colour Party was composed of Lt. A. DuBois-Phillips, Sgt. J.D. Anderson, C.S.M. D. J. Robins, Lt. E. M. Metcalfe and Sgt. E. E. Olinek, Major C. B. Campbell, CD, and Major 1. W. Lawrence handed the New Colours to Prince Philip. From the time of the arrival of Prince Philip, dressed in the uniform of the Queen's Own Highlanders (the recently amalgamated Seaforths and Camerons), the entire ceremony went like clockwork. After inspecting the regiment His Royal Highness went over to greet about two hundred veterans of the Seaforth Association-an unplanned but most welcome greeting. Then the old colours were trooped past the rigid lines of Seaforths to the tune of "Loch Duich", and finally they were taken from the grounds to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne" while the entire battalion presented arms. It was a magic moment, which was hard to watch without deep feeling. Slowly the colours went by. On them were emblazoned the Great War battle honours which many of the older veterans watching them go by had helped to win. Fifty long years parted like a veil, and though their eyes saw the colours and their ears heard the pipes, in their memories they were back in the trenches of Flanders. Next came the consecration of the new colours in a brief drumhead service by Honorary Major Reverend R. H. Durnford, DSO, CD, and Honorary Captain Reverend R.S.M. Kennedy after which His Royal Highness presented them to the regiment. He then spoke briefly to all ranks, and returned to the reviewing stand. The next part of the ceremony was performed with all the élan which one could hope to see in any regiment. With the Pipes and Drums playing "The Pibroch 0' Donuil Dubh", the battalion marched past Prince Philip in flawless formation, the sun sparkling on their accoutrements, their lines as straight as a ruler. It was a magnificent spectacle and after His Royal Highness had left27 the audience in the stands rose to their feet and applauded and cheered to the echo as Lt-Col. Fairweather marched his battalion off the parade ground".
