A 22-year-old Sikh soldier has become the first member of the Coldstream Guards to wear a turban at the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Guardsman Charanpreet Singh Lall said he hoped he wouldn’t be the last.
“I hope that people watching, that they will acknowledge it and that they will look at it as a new change in history,” he told the Press Association.
“I hope that more guards like me – not just Sikhs but from other religions and different backgrounds – will be encouraged to join the army.”
