The State Clothing for Drum
Majors is a Royal Household rather than an Army uniform, and
is worn by the Drum Majors as a Household Drummer to the Queen.
State dress may only be worn on occasions when members of the
Royal family are present, and on anniversaries when mounting
Queens's guard, these include Royal Birthdays, Coronations and
St Patrick's Day.
The Drummers of the Battalion's
Corps of Drums, is the Fleur de Lis, worked on the braid of
the Drummers Tunics, this originates from the days when the
King of England was also the King of France.
