LLANFOR. I LAYING UP OF REGIMENTAL COLOURS. I One of the most interesting ceremonies connected with our County Territorial Associ- ation was performed at Bala and the Parish Church of Llanfor, where the old Colours of the County Militia were banded over to the custody of the Rector of Llanfor for their safe keeping in their own County. On Thursday June 18th (the 99th anniversary of Waterloo) a colour escort of the G and H Companies 7th Batt., Royal Welsh Fusiliers was drawn up outside Bala Town Hall, where a stirring address was delivered by the Lord Lieutenant Sir. A. Osmond Williams, who received the Colours, which had been brought from the Tower of London, by Mr. Charles Foulkes, Curator of Armouries of the Tower. A pro- cession was then formed,and marched, headed by the Band of the R. W. Fusiliers, to Llanfor Church. Arrived at the Lych-gate, the Colours escort took farewell of the Colours, marching round them in slow time. The Colours were then presented to the Rector of the Parish at the Lych-gate, and taken into the Church, which was filled with a congre- gation consisting of the local Territorials, Boy Scouts, Men of the National Reserve, Firemen and deputations of the local public authorities, together with as many of the general public a^ could squeeze into the Church. At the end of a shortened evening Service, followed by an excellent Sermon, the Colours were presented to the Rector at the Chancel steps, and borne by the two Church- wardens to the altar rails, there to be placed on either side of the altar table by the Rector who received them with the customary formula, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I accept these Colours as a token of faithful service and of uty well performed "Amen". At the end of the Service, the "Last Post"- most thrilling of bugle calls-was sounded by the buglers in the Porch. A touching ceremony was afterwards performed in the Churchyard, when a beautiful wreath of flowers was placed on the grave of an old hero of 20 engagements, John Williams, by the Omcers of the Regiment. Thus ended a most interesting and soul- stirring day in the history of the little vil Inge and its Church. Mr. Pearce, Watchmaker, was busily employed duitng th-i day with- his camera. 1 f
