The tradition of regimental flags, known as the Colours, dates back to ancient times.
The tradition of the Colours dates back to ancient times when armies carried an identifying emblem into battle.
They are consecrated before being taken into use and after service are laid up in sacred or public buildings.The modern Colour carries the image of the Enniskillen Castle and the motto of the Royal Irish Regiment, Faugh a Ballagh or "Clear the way".The regiment received new Colours at a ceremony at the Titanic slipway in 2018.
Royal Irish regimental secretary Lt-Col Andy Hart said Colours were the "very spirit of the regiment". "They represent the bond between the regiment and the sovereign but they're also consecrated and they have upon themselves a spiritual embodiment of the regiment as well," he added.More on this story
