The Household Cavalry and King's Troop 2010

The Household Cavalry and King's Troop at the first full rehearsal for Trooping the Colour 2010 (The Major General's Review).

The mounted bands of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals lead the Household Cavalry down The Mall from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade where the salute was taken by Maj. Gen. W G Cubitt CBE, Major General Commanding the Household Division.

The video also shows The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery [02:43] returning down The Mall to Green Park where, on the Queen's official birthday, they fire a gun salute. The troop dates from 1946 when King George VI decided that a horse troop should be retained for ceremonial duties.

They are followed by the mounted bands and Household Cavalry.

108 Field Battery, 4 Field Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery weren't so posh on parades, but we sure could shoot the shit out of anyone!
