(CRC)—The Duke of Edinburgh will travel to Toronto on April 27 to present a new regimental colour to the Third Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment, reports Canada.com

“It’s his only engagement during what Ottawa describes as a "private working visit."
“The prince has served as the regiment’s colonel-in-chief — an honorary title often bestowed on members of the Royal Family — since 1953.

“Regimental colours are a kind of ceremonial flag considered the most prized possession of every regiment.”

Prince Philip last visited Canada, along with the Queen, in the summer of 2010. [GG]
