King Charles III presented new Colours to four Royal Marine units (40, 42, 43 and 45 Commando) at Windsor Castle, replacing those issued by Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The ceremony followed a parade from Victoria Barracks to Windsor and highlights the enduring bond between the Crown, the Royal Marines, and the nation, linking their origins in 1664 to the modern Commando Force.
