The Household Cavalry

The Household Cavalry is one of the oldest and most prestigious units of the British Army, consisting of two regiments: the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. They serve a dual purpose: providing ceremonial duties, such as guarding the royal palaces and participating in state events, and operational roles, including mounted and armored reconnaissance. Known for their striking uniforms and horse mounted formations, they symbolize the British monarchy's military heritage. The Household Cavalry plays a key role in national ceremonies, impressing both the public and tourists with their historical significance and ceremonial excellence.
