"Following the parade, Her Majesty handed over the prestigious “Queen’s Clock” to one guard for his exceptional service to the crown and his excellent companionship. The presentation of the “Queen’s Clock” to a soldier from the Royal Life Guard has been a tradition since 1970, when Frederik IX first handed over a clock at a parade. “The King’s Clock” changed its name to “The Queen’s Clock” at the change of throne in 1972, and Queen Margrethe has since continued the tradition."
This is a great tradition.
