The Queen will arrive in Cardiff by Royal train when she visits Cardiff next Thursday
The Queen will present new colours to Wales' infantry regiment The Royal Welsh at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff next week.
She is the regiment's colonel-in-chief and will attend the colours parade at the home of Welsh rugby on 11 June.
Members of the public from across Wales and the UK have been invited to attend the event.
The presentation of new colours will be the final formal recognition of The Royal Welsh.
It was formed in 2006 after the merger of two regiments - the Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Wales.
She will also address the regiment and meet soldiers, their families and others associated with the regiment.
In recent years the regiment has served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
