    Just as they did at Buckingham Palace twenty years ago to show solidarity with our US allies, the Band of the @WelshGuards this morning played the US National Anthem at changing of the guard. #911Memorial #NeverForget @Corpsarmymusic @RoyalFamily @UKinUSA @BritishArmy

    Respect for others underpins all we do in the @BritishArmy so it was no surprise that the @WelshGuardsBand paid tribute to musical icon and inspiration #ArethaFranklin at Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace today. @RoyalFamily #ArethaFranklinFuneral #RESPECT

    Thank you and goodbye to our friends from the @CanadianArmy who temporarily took over the duty of The King’s Life Guard at Horse Guards from @HCav1660 this month with inimitable style and aplomb. You were awesome and we will miss you!

    Trooping the Colour in 30 seconds! The @scots_guards is one of the toughest fighting units in the @BritishArmy. Famed for their agility, reconnaissance, tactics, combat and specialised mechanised prowess they are brilliant at ceremonial drill too! @RoyalFamily @DefenceHQ

    The @BritishArmy was out in force this morning rehearsing for the Japanese State Visit. Involved are over 1250 soldiers from the Household Division, including 250 Army musicians, 9 Regiments and more than 240 magnificent military working horses. @JAPANinUK @UKinJapan

    Garrison Sergeant Major Vern Stokes gives instructions to Lt Colonel Coleby who is mounted on a white horse in the middle of The Mall, while soldiers stand to attention street lining from the foreground to the far distance
    The Sovereign’s Escort made up of hundreds of soldiers in khaki uniform and silver helmets with red or white plumes, all riding black horses, ride up the Mall towards Buckingham Palace. Six white Cavalry Trumpeters on white horses ride side by side immediately behind them.
