Soldiers from the famous regiment arrived in Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the England-Scotland border by train on Tuesday.

Residents of Berwick-upon-Tweed have turned out in force to welcome soldiers from the Coldstream Guards who made a symbolic return to the town by train 375 years after their regiment’s formation.

Soldiers in red tunics and bearskin hats arrived by coach before marching through King’s Cross station and boarding an LNER train.
