Sikh soldier in turban for Palace duty 11.12.12
65A Sikh soldier has made history by becoming the first Guardsman to wear a turban instead of a bearskin at Buckingham Palace.
Jatenderpal Singh Bhullar, 25, is the first guardsman in 180 years of tradition to choose to wear his turban on the famous forecourt.
The Scots Guardsman previously said being the first Sikh to mount guard in a turban would be the "best thing in his life".
The 25-year-old said: "Conducting public duties while being a practising Sikh and wearing my turban is a great honour for me.
"I am very proud to be a member of the Household Division and to be the first Sikh Guardsman to mount guard in a turban will be the best thing in my life, especially as a member of the Scots Guards.
"The regiment is full of history, as is my religion."
