Thousands travelled to Coleraine as the town celebrated Armed Forces Day on Saturday.
It was first time the town hosted AFD, which attracted a huge number of military personnel, their families, friends and supporters.
The spectacle received a rousing reception from the large crowds which lined the route before a time of reflection during a Drumhead Service at the War Memorial.
After the first gun salute of the day at noon there was a packed afternoon of activities in Christie Park, on the River Bann and throughout the town centre!

The female officer who came into the picture at about 2:25 was most impressive. She certainly caught the public's attention and mine. Would like to have seen her carrying a sidearm.

Those veterans look pretty damn good, they put a lot of the younger generation to shame and could still knock the shit out of a terrorist threat. A younger generation who are mostly obese, lazy and too interested in parties and playing with phones.

Someone? Always have a grin on my face when there are cadets involved. Always have two souls in my breast when I see them. One telling me how great it is to have so many of them there involved. The other one gringing how bad their marching is (with many of therm) and more effort should be made to train them to this basic skill.

It looks silly when there is a huge gap and then one person comes marching all by themselves.

What breed of dog is the mascot seen at 2:08?

@Jimo1956 4 жыл бұрын

That should be Domhnall, an Irish Wolfhound. Since 1902, an Irish Wolfhound has been presented as a mascot to the regiment by the members of the Irish Wolfhound Club, who hoped the publicity would increase the breed's popularity with the public. The first mascot was called Brian Boru. In 1961, the wolfhound was admitted to the select club of "official" Army mascots, entitling him to the services of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, as well as quartering and food at public expense. Originally, the mascot was in the care of a drummer boy, but is now looked after by one of the regiment's drummers and his family. The Irish Guards are the only Guards regiment permitted to have their mascot lead them on parade. During Trooping the Colour, however, the mascot marches only from Wellington Barracks as far as Horse Guards Parade. He then falls out of the formation and does not participate in the trooping itself. The regiment's current wolfhound is named Domhnall. His predecessor, Conmael, made his debut at Trooping the Colour on 13 June 2009. At the end of 2012 Conmael retired and was replaced with the new wolfhound- Domhnall. (Quoted from Wikipedia).
