====Slow march-past==== Neutral slow marches start and conclude this section as the Massed Bands march into the centre of the field to take their places. The guards are preceded past the saluting base by the [[Field Officer in Brigade Waiting|Field Officer]] and the [[Second-in-Command|Major of the Parade]], who salute the King with their swords and eyes right. To the strains of their regimental slow marches, each of Nos. 1-6 Guards passes before the King with their eyes right, their regimental officers saluting with swords. The leading company, No. 1 Guard β the Escort to the Colour β has a particular honour. The Ensign lowers the colour β the 'flourish'. The King acknowledges it with a bow of the head, and the [[Royal Colonels]] salute the colour. Once past the saluting base, the colour is raised again β the 'recover' β and "eyes front" is ordered. Each company's salute is acknowledged by the King and the Royal Colonels.
