HRH Princess Alexandra presents the new Guidon                                   http://www.jhlb.co.uk/

The parade was a great success and a great credit to all involved.  Originally planned for Windsor Castle, the venue was switched at the last minute to the gardens of Buckingham Palace due to conflicts with the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations at Windsor.  This proved to be an inspired choice as there was much more space and, with all the facilities for the summer season of royal garden parties in place, the ability to put on a really grand occasion.

The preparations were hectic, not least all the rehearsals and the need to fit everyone with the correct uniforms.  However, all concerned worked extremely hard and the result was a spectacular afternoon which will long be remembered by all that attended.
