Soldiers from the Parachute Regiment have had a special beer called "Every Man an Emperor", brewed by their local pub landlord in honour of their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.
Launched at the Colchester pub The Fox and Fiddler on Friday, 15 February, the beer takes its name from a speech about the Regiment, made by Field Marshall Montgomery in 1944 after which "Every man an emperor" become an unofficial motto of The Parachute Regiment. Available exclusively at the Fox and Fiddler, the landlord, Mr Wright will donate 30p to a charity of the Paras choice for every pint of ale sold.
