It's hard to know what to do in these situations because you never know when someone is going to come along with the specific knowledge required for the answer. I suppose though this was a big ask and no new people seem to be trying so:

By tradition they are the only British Army regiments that are allowed to march through the City of London with bayonets fixed and Colours flying.
See the answer is easy when you know it.

This question below should be easier. Think buildings, think occasions.

Red, Black and Green
Yellow and White
Lavender and White
Blue

(edit: match=march)
