Prince Philip took part a ceremony at the Ontario legislature on Saturday morning, where he presented 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.
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 on Friday from Gov. Gen. David Johnston — the Order of Canada and the Commander of the Order of Military Merit.
