Original Note:
This photo is from 2018, not the Trooping of the Colour on 17 June 2023. Another soldier became the first guardsman to wear a turban in place of the bearskin in 2012. Since World War 2, orders have been issued not to force Sikh British soldiers to wear other headwear. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-45637288 https://uk.linkedin.com/in/charanpreet-singh-lall-00ab3b179 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/pictures-no-bearskin-as-first-sikh-guardsman-makes-history-8405640.html https://www.sikhnet.com/news/british-and-turban-sikhs
