Editing Colour guard (section)

=====British Army (cavalry)=====
In the cavalry, the King's Standard or Guidon and the regimental/squadron standard or guidon (for the light cavalry only) are the equivalents to the King's and regimental colours.
* King's Standard – Crimson with the royal coat of arms, the [[royal cypher]] and the regimental honours
*: Colour Sergeant/Corporal of Horse, Warrant Officers
* Regimental/squadron standard/guidon – Crimson or scarlet or other colours with the royal cypher, the Union Badge, regimental insignia and honours (only guidons are swallow tailed)
*: same as in the King's Standard/Guidon
* Combined Colour Guards (units)
*: Colour Corporals/Sergeants, Warrant Officers, Guard Corporal/Sergeant of the Colours, Colours Corporal Major (Household Cavalry), Colours Sergeant Major (other cavalry and armour units)

Colour guards in the artillery units are technically the lead gun's crew and leader (except in the Honourable Artillery Company which uses both guns and colours) and there are no colour guards in the rifle regiments (nowadays [[The Rifles]]), the [[Royal Gurkha Rifles]] (which use the King's Truncheon) and in the Royal Hospital in Chelsea.
