| The uniform of drummers in the Corps of Drums is easily recognisable by the liberal use of the fleur-de-lis lace and has been the traditional dress in the Grenadier Guards since at least 1784 when drummers coats were decorated in a similar way. The bugle has the cord and tassels in the royal colours and hangs behind him. The waist-belt is devoid of any straps or pouches and the bandsman's sword has been discarded. |
