Two Sikh soldiers have become the first of their religion to guard the Queen.
Signaller Singh, who is serving with 21 Signal Regiment, became the first Sikh to be given the honour of guarding the Queen, the Army said.
Family proud
The soldier usually works in the headquarters of the motor transport department looking after vehicles and radio equipment.
"My family and friends are very proud of me being in the Army and have been down to watch the ceremony," he said.
