Prince Philip is at the Ontario legislature this morning for a ceremony to present a new regimental flag to the Third Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment.
The ceremony marks the 200th anniversary of a key battle of the War of 1812.
Prince Philip, 91, last presented the Third Battalion with colours in 1973.

After presenting of the colours, the Duke of Edinburgh will watch as more than 1,700 soldiers take part in a military march to Fort York, where they will gather for a ceremony commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Battle of York.
Regimental colours are considered the most prized possession of every regiment.
The prince has served as the Royal Canadian Regiment's colonel-in-chief — an honorary title bestowed on members of the Royal Family since 1953.
Philip received two honours yesterday from Gov. Gen. David Johnston — the Order of Canada and the Commander of the Order of Military Merit.
