On her inaugural visit since becoming Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, The Queen Consort today met members of the Battalion and their families at Lille Barracks. Over the last five years, the 1st Battalion has been employed across a plethora of military tasks around the world. Members of the Grenadier Guards returned from deployment in September to provide the Bearer Party for the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Looking ahead, the Battalion is very much looking forward to supporting state ceremonial duties in the coming months.
