• Authorised lanyard or aiguillette where entitled

The Departmental lanyard is expressly not applicable. In No. 1 Dress an appointment or Royal aiguillette remains possible only where separately entitled, so the combined slot is conditional rather than universally absent.

• Additional authorised item for the occasion

Any additional accessory is controlled by the cited occasion or local dress rule.

• No. 3 Staff Aiguillettes

Offer the same No.3 Staff pattern conditionally, only for an entitled ADC/Military Assistant/Flag Lieutenant appointment and official duty during that appointment; ordinary officer status alone confers no entitlement.
