Yesterday I had the honour to be a guest at Knightsbridge Barracks, home of Her Majesty's Household Cavalry Divisions. The men and women of both the Lifeguards and Blues & Royals made my first visit to their central London home a real delight. Despite the heavens opening a couple of times, the troops and their magnificent horses put on a show for a handful of guests, whilst rehearsing for their next formal parades later this month.
I hope that the 2009 ceremonial season proves to be an enormous success for them all, and I'd like to say a big thank you to Captain Mark Avison, the Household Cavalry Riding Master for facilitating my visit.
