For what may be the final time, Prince Harry last night appeared in his role as Captain General of the Royal Marines, wearing his dress uniform.
The scarlet Mess Jacket featured silver-embroidered rank badges of a star above a crossed sword and baton on each shoulder strap.
Each lapel is decorated with the Corps badge of the Royal Marines, consisting of a globe, laurel and crown, the battle honour ‘Gibraltar’, an anchor and the Corps motto ‘Per Mare Per Terram’ (By Sea, by Land).

The Prince wore his Army Air Corps Wings, which he received in 2010 after completing advanced helicopter training.
By tradition, he wears these on his left, above the military medals.
Last night, he sported four medals – the KCVO (Knight Commander of the Victorian Order), his Afghanistan campaign medal, the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Below his bow tie was the Star of the Grand Cross Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.
