Anyway, I decided to attend the Pope's Angelus this morning and was pleasantly surprised to hear the band of the Swiss Guards playing as I entered the Square.

It seems that most of the Corps were on parade.

Check our Rocco's translation of the Holy Father's remarks. (I too was disappointed that there was no consistory announced.)

More knowlegeable souls than myself will be able to tell me the significance of the various uniforms - I'm guessing we see here the uniforms of the Officers, NCOs and ordinary guards.
