Ceremonial Events
HQ London District organises the main military Ceremonial Events such as State Visits, Trooping the Colour and Beating Retreat every June at Horse Guards.
Ceremonial duties are an important part of Army history and tradition, and all soldiers undertaking this role are highly trained who also play an important part in military operations worldwide.
Ceremonial events take place throughout the country, and indeed the world, but few are as high profile as those that draw millions of tourists to London year after year.
