- Band of the Household Cavalry marching up to Hyde Park to take part in the Cavalry Sunday event near the Hyde Park Bandstand, in front of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The parade is organised by the Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association with both serving and retired officers and soldiers participating.
Apologies for the first part of the video, still having issues following and recording the bands using my bad arm, hope it does not spoil the video.

Thank you very much Delvin, I think number 13 is a march called Nancy Dawson.
@@MrBaton74 You're most welcome MrB! Although I should thank you, for both the video and saving me from scratching my head so much! Lol! It is Nancy Dawson! Many Thanks!
Thank you so much! The guy asked for in the song called "John" ;) Also, the "W.R.A.C." March is also known as "The Lass of Richmond Hill"!
@@haglasu1468 Not sure if the comment was intended for me, but if so You're welcome! Not sure what you mean by "The Guy asked for in the song "John". Many Thanks, I don't know why my mind forgot about "The Lass of Richmond Hill", I recently named it during the Princes Louise's Kensington Regiment parade video!
@@delvinrodriguez3341 I was referring to “D’ye ken John Peel” … admittedly very pedantic, sorry about that :P
Fantastic show 😊 welldone everyone 👏 😅😅 Best of British ❤ God save the King ❤
I believe these guys form the besr military band in England. Always amazing to watch and listen to. 👍
This is what Britain is all about. Traditional, cultural, historical and a great example of our forces . God save the king and country.
Well done sir! Thank you from the USA. As a "Vet", who taught drill & ceremony, I can't but help being impressed by the marching ability and "close order" maintenance demonstrated by the Vets here. While our Vets do march in ceremony, usually locally, our Memorial Day, I believe, is highlighted by a "little" get together called "Rolling Thunder". Thank you for the post, again well done!
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
This is so nice! Please keep your traditions UK! Don't ever loose them - God save the King! from South Africa
What a Beautiful Spring Day in 'Ole London Town! And what better way to Enjoy it than to be in Hyde Park listening to the Sound of Military Music played by The Brilliant Band of the Household Cavalry on Cavalry Sunday. Already I've seen a Couple of things Different to Previous Years. This is the First time I've seen one of The 2 Drum Horses at this Parade & Highly Unusual as The Mounted Drummer is wearing State Uniform (Unchanged in Style since 1685) & The Rest of the Band is Dismounted & in Ceremonial Uniform. I think that's Major "Juno", the First Mare ever to be a Drum Horse for the Household Cavalry & She Officially Finished her 2 Years Training when She Paraded with the Regiment at King Charles lll first Trooping The Colour as Monarch last Year. She's a Beautiful Shire Horse, Bred at Dyfed Shire Horses in Wales & has been in the Regiment since 2021. She could be having "Refresher Training" ahead of the Trooping the Colour Parade in Early June, She's certainly handling the Job alright, those 2 Silver Kettle Drums She's carrying have a Combined Weight of 112 Kilograms (247 lb) & on Top of that She has to Carry an Adult Drummer & the Weight of Her own Uniform & the People & Vehicles don't appear to be fazing her at all.
I saw another Unusual sight on another Channel too, Several Officers wearing a Red Tunic, Black Trousers with a Yellow Stripe, not the Normal Red, but also wearing Helmets with the Red Horsehair Plumes of the Blues & Royals. Rather Confusing as The Blues & Royals Regiment wear Blue Tunics. The Red Tunics are Worn by the Life Guards Regiment, with their Helmet Plumes being White Horsehair. The Only thing I can think of is that Maybe these Particular Uniforms came about for the New Level of Officers who Command the 2 Combined Regiments after the 1992 Amalgamation of the 2 Regiments to form the New Household Cavalry Regiment in The Household Division. I'm sure Someone knows & can Enlighten Me.
The Band of the Household Cavalry are at the Top of their Game as you would Expect from a Band that Regularly Performs at all the Top State Functions & their Performance today makes it very Obvious. Excellent Music & Beautiful Drill. As Enjoyable as it's been getting here, Now comes My Favourite Part of This Annual Parade. The March Past of the Serving Cavalrymen & The March Past of The Veterans, Officers Correctly Attired in Bowler Hats & Carrying a Furled Umbrella, which is Not to be Opened No Matter how Rainy it may Get. The Pride of the Veterans is Palpable as they March again with the Regimental Brothers in Arms & I love the way the Band Plays The Regimental Marches & Old Marches to Welcome each Unit as they Pass the Official Dias. Well Done Gentlemen & Ladies, Retired from the British Army Perhaps, but You Definitely Still Have it!
I wondered who'd be taking the Salute today, the Last few Years it was Prince Edward the Duke of Kent, but now well into his Twilight Years, he's Stepped Back a Little from Public Duties Bless him. I'm Glad to see it's Prince Edward the Duke of Edinburgh, as he's taken up some of The Military Roles the Duke of Kent has stepped Back from. The more I see HRH The Duke of Edinburgh these Days, the more I'm struck by the fact that He Looks Very Much like his Mother, The Late Queen Elizabeth ll & how very much his Respect for the Armed Services Mirrors that of Hers, Quiet, Proud, Solid & Always Supportive.
I mustn't forget to mention, The Band of The Household Cavalry Always Acknowledges & Pays their Respect to The Memorial in Hyde Park, that remembers The July 1982 Hyde Park & Regents Park Bombings, Killing & Wounding Cavalrymen & their Horses.
This is Another Brilliant Video Mr B! I don't know what you're Apologising for at the Start of the Video, I even went Back & watched the Start again & couldn't see anything that Warranted an Apology for. It's a Great Video & I especially liked hearing The Band as they Approached & watching them Front on for a bit, a view we rarely get of any of the Bands. I hope all that time holding a Camera up, even with your Pole thingy to see over the heads of Spectators, didn't cause you too much Pain or Stiffness. I'm sure you were Filming for far Longer than the almost 30minutes we see of this Video. You need to Pace yourself Man, things are going to get a lot more hectic shortly & you don't want to keep knocking yourself about each Weekend & spend the Week flat on your Back Recuperating, just to do it all again the next weekend. I will now stop Nagging you about it, but please take Care.
Thank you for this Excellent Video, it's Good to have you Back!
Who or what are they saluting at 7:45?
@@charlottecunningham2141 it is the memorial to The Hyde Park Bombings. On July 20th 1982 the IRA attacked members of the Queen's Life Guard killing 4 men and 7 horses.
Thank you Vicky, just getting practise in for the Trooping the Colour and all the other events we have coming up in the next few months, no rest for the wicked as they say, haha.
Good bass bone!
Beautiful work. Excellent Bass Trombone sound
I always love to see all those veterans marching in the ceremonies. Honoring their nation.
I'm hearing some awesome bass trombone playing! Bravo!
Hi James, The 2 Bass Trombones & the Tubas always Sound Awesome with this Band. Another Great time is When they do The Musical Support for the Guard Change at Windsor. Coming through the Arch at Victoria Barracks is absolutely Spine Tingling.
Speaking as a bass trombonist I say there is no such thing as too much bass trombone sound!
@@jamessprenger7340 I Totally Agree! It's my Favourite Instrument in these Marching Bands. My Favourite Bass Trombonist is Sgt David Lockwood of The Irish Guards, That Man has Lungs of Kevlar. The one & only time I tried to play a Trombone, I managed a Sound that was a Cross between a Tom Cat on the Prowl & Fingernails on a Blackboard for about 5 Seconds & almost Blew my Ear Drums & Split My Cheeks in the Process. I have nothing but the Utmost Respect for anyone who can get a Musical Note out of One.
They sound great. Juno, the drum horse, is gorgeous. Must be so cool to able to walk or ride alongside the band. What is the little mascot’s name?
I’m IMPRESSED
Interesting i watched a belgium YT video of these guys a few days ago at the menin gate, ypres belgium. Titled "Household Cavalry - 04/05/2024". They were there celebrating the centenniel of their memorial there which was unveiled by field marshall haig in may 1924.. They played a part in the last post ceremony along with the london scottish pipes and drums band. Before all marched through the gate in respect of all the fallen.
Great to see the regimental standards and guidons on parade. Please could the hussar, light dragoon and lancer detachments find full dress uniforms like the dragoon guards and Household cavalry.
I have a question, which is why do cymbalists have different uniforms compared to the rest of the band?
Anyone know the name of the March at 18:29?
@MrBaton74 May I ask what happened to your arm? You've done an excellent job as always.
Hi, I broke my shoulder after falling over trying to record an event several weeks ago. 🙁
@MrBaton74 Get better soon
so sorry to hear that. best take it easy til you heal. Best wishes.@@MrBaton74
@@MrBaton74ouch! I hope the pain has gone. Great production as always, thank MrB and look after yourself.
@@emstirling-is4nu Thank you.
Have u got a video of the bands as a massed band today please?
Sorry no, there was so much going on today that if I stayed to the end I would have missed several other events that were going on.
@@MrBaton74 well thank you loads for all the excellent videos. There great keep up the fantastic work 👍
Thank you again for an excellent video. Great marching and music from all participants. What a truly splendid event. Wish I had known it was on. How do I find this information?
Very well done, when our Cavalry marched in Sydney on Anzac Day 2024 (czcams.com/video/Wx0J2D7M8-E/video.htmlsi=KmIJD9xbbi0-vhUW), I'm afraid I had to overlay music. Just wondering, does the household cavalry band play when mounted on the march anymore. Our last cavalry band was dismounted in 1914. We did horse mount a drummer in 1985, and the late TPR White did play on the move. I never did make it to Cavalry Sunday, and now at 79 probably will not.
