====Colour commands at the halt (static)==== *'''Order colours''': Essentially the same as order arms, except used exclusively for the colour party. *'''Carry colours''': This is equivalent to Shoulder Arms. The right arm lifts the colours up so they line up with the body's centre line, with the right arm held in front of the soldier, at mouth level parallel to the ground. It is caught and guided into its frog with the left hand, which is then returned to its side. *'''Change colours''': This is used when the senior flag officer decides that he or she and the other flag holding members, have held their flags for a long time, and that their arms are tired, so, when the command "Change - colours!" is given, the flag holders put their arms in line with the flag, their other hand on top of their first hand and move the first hand down to attention, so that the other hand is now at the first hands' original position.
