ON THE 10TH MAY, 1958, THE GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE TERRITORIAL ARMY IN NORTHERN IRELAND, A REVIEW WAS PERFORMED BY HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER AT THE ROYAL NAVAL AIR STATION SYDENHAM, BELFAST.


The 107 (Ulster) Independent Infantry Brigade was raised in 1947 by Brigadier Nelson Russell CB DSO MC.

The North Irish Horse, however, pre-dates the Brigade and was first raised in 1902.

In 1958 the Honorary Colonel was HRH Princess Alexandra of Kent.

The regiment is now at squadron strength and forms part of the Queen's Own Yeomanry.
