British Household Cavalry

The British Household Cavalry is a prestigious ceremonial unit of the British Army, composed of two regiments: the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. They serve both as elite armored reconnaissance units during combat and as ceremonial guards, notably for royal events and state occasions. Known for their distinctive uniforms and mounted drills, they symbolize tradition, discipline, and national heritage. While primarily a ceremonial presence today, they also maintain operational roles, combining historical pageantry with active military duties.
