It is a light infantry bugle with the regiments title under, but this latter part is largely illegible.  The 'options' are Durham, Shropshire, Cornwall, Somerset and Yorkshire and HLI (see enclosed).

Hi Guys
I can't see the bugle at all! It looks more like an animal, a horse or fox, facing to the left, with a shepherds crook in its mouth......

Try and separate the bugle from the title underneath and be aware of the angle you are viewing from.  As you look the mouth of the bugle is to the left (oblique) and the mouth to the right and the trefoil loop in the cord at the top.  I enclose a pair as illustration and the right hand of the two is as per your photo.

Hi

The lower title seams to read "Queens" if so could the other badge be Kirk's lamb?

The Queens would never wear a bugle above a title as already mentioned by previous posters - I too am going with Durham Light Infantry.
