British Forces still a power at Sevens
On hand to assist with this year's Rugby World Cup Sevens will be up to 400 soldiers from 1st Battalion The Black Watch who have been tasked with stewarding the Hong Kong Stadium throughout the three-day extravaganza.
Members of the Battalion's Pipes and Drums will also provide a suitably stirring musical accompaniment at the Opening Ceremony while the Band of the Royal Marines, enjoying a short tour of the territory, will put on two performances on Finals' Day.
Because of their commitment to the tournament, the weekly Changing of the Guard ceremony, at Prince of Wales Barracks, will not take place on Friday, March 21. The ceremony will resume on Good Friday, March 28.
