Scottish infantry regiment the Atholl Highlanders and the Bermuda Regiment were among the troops that participated in the annual Queen's Birthday Parade this morning.
(By Elizabeth Roberts)
Regiment guns rang out across Hamilton this morning to mark the official birthday of Her Majesty the Queen.
Governor George Fergusson inspected the troops at a parade that featured the Regiment, Police and Sea Cadets, among others.
The event also featured the Atholl Highlanders, a Scottish infantry regiment that is in the private employ of the Duke of Atholl, making it Europe's only legal private army.
Dignitaries who watched the parade, which ended with a 21-gun salute, included Premier Paula Cox and Leader of the Opposition Craig Cannonier.
Hordes of local residents and visitors also lined Front Street to watch the ceremony.
