The Remembrance Tour at the Household Cavalry Museum offers a poignant journey through British military history, paying tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who have served for centuries.
Situated within the iconic Horse Guards Parade in London, the museum not only showcases the ceremonial splendor of the Household Cavalry but also delves into the regiment’s active service on the battlefield.
Visitors can explore artifacts, uniforms, and personal stories from wars past and present, gaining a deeper understanding of the soldiers’ roles, from their noble ceremonial duties to their courageous acts in conflict.
As an added highlight, a veteran of the British Army will accompany the tour, providing personal insights and experiences.
The tour culminates in a tribute to fallen soldiers, creating a reflective and solemn experience that honors their legacy.
We will remember them.
DATES
Both tours will include watching the Mounted Guard Change on Horse Guards Parade:
Friday 08 November at 10.15am
Wednesday 13 November at 10.15am
Please note that between 2-24 September 2024, some of the King’s Life Guard Ceremonial duties will change.
There will be no horses at Horse Guards or 1100hrs Mounted Guard Change during this time.
The soldiers will change from Mounted Review Order to Dismounted Review Order. Dismounted soldiers will still be seen daily in the Tilt Yard between 1000hrs and 1600hrs, with a dismounted Guard change ceremony taking place at 1100hrs and the traditional 1600 hrs parade. This is to allow essential infrastructure maintenance to take place.
The public will also continue to see the dismounted soldiers on duty at Horse Guards on a daily basis during this time.
This does mean that there will be no horses to see through our glass viewing window in the museum during this period but the museum will remain open.
