Around 170 horses and personnel of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment leave Knightsbridge Barracks and head to the “Football Pitch” area of Hyde Park to form up and be inspected by the General Officer Commanding the Household Division. They are accompanied by the mounted band of the Household Cavalry with their magnificent shire Drum Horses. (Photo by Ian Davidson / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
