  • The Foot Guards of the Household Division, accompanied by their bands, march from Wellington Barracks along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade for the Major General's Review on 3 June 2017.
    The Major General's Review was the first full rehearsal for Trooping the Colour. The colour being trooped in 2017 is that of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards. There are five bands on parade here, along with the Corps of Drums of the Irish Guards Guards and the Coldstream Guards, and the Drums and Pipes of the Scots Guards and the Irish Guards.
    There are six Guards on parade with seventy men and three officers assigned to each, except for the Escort for the Colour which has seventy-six men.
    Also on parade is the Regimental Mascot of the Irish Guards, an Irish Wolfhound called Domhnall (pronounced Donal, and the Irish equivalent of the Scottish Donald). Domhnall of Shantamon (his full name) is making his debut at the Queen's Birthday Parade, having replaced Conmael in 2012.
    The music list for the parade is substantial and comprises around 40 items of music. The list does not include the music played between Wellington Barracks and Horse Guards Parade which adds another twenty or so pieces. So there is a substantial programme for these musicians to perform.
    The six groups of Foot Guards are:
    Escort for the Colour (No. 1 Guard) Support Company, 1 Battalion Irish Guards
    No 2 and No 3 Guards - 1st Battalion Irish Guards
    No 4 Guard - Nijmegen Company, Grenadier Guards
    No 5 Guard - F Company, Scots Guards
    No 6 Guard - Number 7 Company Coldstream Guards
