The film tells the story of John Fellowes (Daniel Massey), an officer in the Grenadier Guards as he prepares for the Trooping the Colour ceremony. John is the son of retired guardsman Capt.

John's older brother was also a Guards officer, but he was killed in action and John feels he is being forced to follow in his brother's footsteps.
