The Army brings comfort and joy for Christmas in London

Public duties, protecting the community, combined with delivering festive entertainment for all, means the Army in London frequently has to postpone its Christmas holiday. Many of our soldiers will be working as usual throughout the festive stand down, even on Christmas Day and the New Year holiday. It will remain a busy time, as the soldiers need to care for those that remain on duty, and ensure the highest standards of ceremonial turnout and security for the Royal Palaces. From Wellington Barracks to Windsor, all the soldiers will enjoy a special Christmas lunch in the run up to the big day, served to them by the Officers. It’s a great way to thank everyone for their service
