Edited to add, as the reference to the shoulder belt was apparently not obvious enough: If you're talking about the picture of Air Miles Andy...

He is in fact wearing the uniform of a Royal Marine Lt general, the wings I've never seen before.
Which will be why he's wearing Army Khaki rather than RM Lovat Green, and the crown and 2 pips of a Colonel rather than the insignia of a Lt Gen, who would also have red collar tabs.

Still looks a bit Irish to me (the uniform that is).
Yes, the bloody great silver harp on the shoulder belt is a bit of a giveaway!
