Can I ask some help with id of a couple of the uniforms being worn today please?

Black beret with small red cap badge (gentleman was in a suit, not uniform) - submariner?
Almost black / Dark green beret, brighter green jacket and black trousers, adorned with gold harp badges on beret and breast pocket - Irish regiment?
Brigher grass green beret worn with black uniform, lots of medals....no idea.
One day of the army chaps had a leather bandolier on as well - i would guess artillery?

We had an amazing array of uniforms on parade today.

The Harp is the Irish Rangers I think?

Some searching suggests the black dress uniform was royal tank regiment - but his beret was green I thought...

'Leather bandolier' was probably a Sam Browne belt, part of the uniform for many Officers.

Leather cross belt would be an officer of the Royal Artillery. It's not a sam browne belt as there's no waist belt bit.

ffej - as you say there was no waist belt, it was purely a shoulder bandolier with three pouches on.
