Every year, the nation gathers to remember the fallen at the Cenotaph. This year marked the 80th anniversary of the end of the second world war, but Remembrance is as much about the present, as the past. More than 10,000 veterans from past conflicts reunited in their regimental and corps groups on Horse Guards Parade in the early morning. Medals polished, cap badges shining, chests out, they marched through the historic arches onto Whitehall with pride, eager to “do their fallen comrades justice”. The veterans joined serving soldiers, sailors and RAF personnel, politicians, foreign dignitaries, religious leaders, and members of the Royal Family for the special service of Remembrance. They gathered to honour the dead in a solemn service whose words and music has remained largely unchanged for 105 years. That familiarity lends security and comfort, and the stark simplicity of the great, white monument in Whitehall around which2025-11-10T11:42:05+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2025/11/06/this-week-in-london-the-first-lady-mayors-show-joseph-wright-of-derby-at-the-national-portrait-gallery-and-audrey-hepburns-blue-plaque/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/london-lord-mayors-show-royal-courts-of-justice-.jpgLondon -

This abandoned Ghost Town that used to be a diamond mine is slowly being reclaimed by the harsh Namib desert. From day one I have always dreamt about a photograph of an elusive and endangered Brown Hyena prowling the abandoned streets at night. I only once saw a set of Hyena footprints next to the ruins, but I knew the area is known for fairly good Brown Hyena activity. I spoke to the security guard at the entrance of the Ghost Town about the frequency of sightings within the Ghost Town. He told me that they pass through every 4 to 6 weeks on average so I knew there was always going to be a possibility. Every single time I visited the Ghost Town I’d set up camera traps in the hope of success.

David, my guide, was not of the same advice; he felt that something was going on, and he stopped the vehicle. after many safari trips I have learnt to trust blindly my guide, because he knows things. So I began to scan the scene as well. Only then we realised that the dark branch on the edge was actually a cobra creeping up, and we remained freezed, bracing for the unexpected interaction - me even more petrified because I don’t feel comfortable around reptiles and I am really never overly happy of being in the proximity of a venomous species. I don't know how this lioness even heard (or felt?) the snake coming, but she went in seconds from sleeping beauty to savage goddess and engaged in a formidable face-off with the reptile. The whole scene lasted only minutes, and later involved also another female. Luckily enough, no venom was spit and no paws were bitten in this incident, but it was a close call for sure. This photo was taken in may 2023 during a safari trip to Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. I’m sorry I cannot provide gps data, but by default I keep the camera gps switched off while photographing wildlife, to avoid inadvertently giving away the position of an animal to potential poachers or trophy hunters when I publish my photos on thehttps://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/vanishing-africa.jpgVanishing Africa2025-08-31T08:37:58+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2025/08/27/10-places-to-encounter-londons-animal-life2-mudchute-park-and-farm/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/london-mudchute-farm.jpgLondon - Mudchute FarmLondon, England - April 24, 2021: Sheep grazing at Mudchute City Farm at Cubitt Town in the Isle of Dogs, Tower Hamletshttps://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/london-kentish-town-city-farm-chickens.jpgChickens at Kentish Town CIty Farm, London, UKChickens at Kentish Town CIty Farm, London, UK2025-08-27T12:10:14+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2025/08/22/lost-london-kew-gardens-flagpoles/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/london-kew-gardens-flagpole.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA2025-08-22T13:12:04+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2025/08/21/this-week-in-london-downton-abbey-in-london-new-evening-street-market-for-rupert-street-and-virtual-beauty-at-somerset-house/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/uk-high-clere-castle.jpgUK - High Clere Castle2025-08-21T12:41:36+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2025/08/20/10-places-to-encounter-londons-animal-life-1-deer-in-richmond-park/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/london-richmond-park-deer2.jpgLondon - Richmond Park - deer2https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/london-richmond-park-deer1.jpgLondon - Richmond Park - Deer12025-08-20T04:59:04+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2025/08/19/londonlife-remembering-vj-day-80-years-on/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/london-whitehall-vj-day.jpgLondon - Whitehall - VJ DayLance Corporal James Bell plays the bag pipes in front of the Cenotaph to commemorate Victory in Japan Day.

The King’s Birthday Parade is a gift from the British Army’s Household Division to His Majesty on the occasion of The King’s official birthday. Held traditionally on the second Saturday in June, regardless of the Sovereign’s actual date of birth, the parade is an opportunity for The Household Division to demonstrate their professional excellence and loyalty to the Crown. Broadcast globally, and with an audience of millions, the parade is also the nation’s most engaging and potent symbol of soft power to our allies and our enemies. Astonishingly, the majority of those on parade were aged 18-25, recent recruits with literally just a few months of experience of Army life, who were performing something extraordinary at the same time as training to be fierce fighting soldiers to protect the nation and our interests. During the parade, the King’s Colour (Regimental flag) was “Trooped”, that is: carried aloft by one of the Regiment’s most junior Officers through the ranks of soldiers.

During the parade, the King’s Colour (Regimental flag) was “Trooped”, that is: carried aloft by one of the Regiment’s most junior Officers through the ranks of soldiers. After the parade on Horse Guards, the Irish Guards marched up The Mall as part of the Royal Procession. The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired the official birthday Gun Salute of 41 Guns in the Green Park at 1252hrs. On the other side of London at the same time, the Honourable Artillery Company fired a 62 round Gun Salute from the Tower of London.

To assure The King’s Birthday Parade, Trooping The Colour, is of sufficiently high standard, the Colonel’s Review is held one week before, and it was this glittering event that thrilled the audience of 7,500 today on Horse Guards Parade and down The Mall. After weeks of gruelling rehearsal and painstaking preparation, two hundred and fifty musicians, twenty pipers, two hundred and forty military working horses, an extremely large dog, and almost a thousand dual role soldiers of the British Army’s Household Division delivered a magnificent spectacle today. Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Colonel Irish Guards, was unable to attend the parade this year. Lt Col James Shaw, Brigade Major of Household Division, said: “We totally understand, and our thoughts and best wishes are with Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. We were even more determined to make the Colonel’s Review the best yet, for Her. We are so proud to have The Princess of Wales as the Colonel of the Irish Guards.” The Irish Guards were deeply touched to receive a letter from their Regimental Colonel, Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales this morning, wishing those on parade good luck for the Colonel’s Review of the King’s Birthday Parade. It was read out to the soldiers as they prepared to step off on parade from Wellington Barracks. We continue to wish Her Royal Highness well in her recovery and send Her our very best wishes. The salute taker for the Colonel’s Review today was Lieutenant General James Bucknall, KCB, CBE. The former Commander of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps has attended every King’s Birthday Parade since 2009 when he was appointed Colonel of the Coldstream Guards having served as a Coldstream Guards Officer for more than 45 years. The King’s Birthday Parade is a gift from the British Army’s Household Division to His Majesty on the occasion of The King’s official birthday. Held traditionally on the second Saturday in June, regardless of the Sovereign’s actual date of birth, the parade is an opportunity for The Household Division to demonstrate their professional excellence and loyalty to the Crown. Broadcast globally, and with an audience of millions, the parade is also the nation’s most engaging and potent symbol of soft power to our allies and our enemies. Astonishingly, the majority of those on parade are aged 18-25, recent recruits with literally just a few months of experience of Army life, who are performing something extraordinary at the same time as training to be fierce fighting soldiers to protect the nation and our interests. During the parade, the King’s Colour (Regimental flag) is “Trooped”, that is: carried aloft by one of the Regiment’s most junior Officers through the ranks of soldiers. This ceremony in ancient times would have enabled soldiers to familiarise themselves with the Colour they would need to rally to for safety, or to regroup, amidst the melee and chaos of battle. The honour to Troop their Colour rotates through the five regiments of Foot Guards, and this year (2024) it lies with Number 9 Company Irish Guards. The Irish Guards were raised by Queen Victoria in 1900 and have provided almost 125 years of loyal service to the Monarchy and the nation. This is however the first time that one of the Irish Guards Public Duties Companies will Troop Their Colour on a Sovereign’s Birthday Parade and the first time that the Irish Guards have trooped in front of The King. Number 9 and Number 12 Irish Guards Public Duties Companies were formed in September 2022 in the final days of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Reign. The Irish Guards provide the Army’s global Security Force Assistance capability. For the past two years Irish Guardsmen have been among the most heavily committed of British Army Infantry soldiers on Operations. No 9 Coy has deployed to the Falkland Islands as part of the Roulement Infantry Company and the 1st Battalion is currently tasked across the globe on a range of Security Force Assistance tasks and multinational exercises from the Horn of Africa to the swamps of Louisiana, strengthening capabilities and relationships with allied nations and partner forces. Most deployments have been to Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria. But tasks have also seen teams deploy to Egypt, Burundi and Mozambique. The Irish Guards were one of the lead regiments in 2023 providing training to Ukrainian recruits to gain the infantry skills they need to defend their homeland. In the past year the Irish Guards have deployed 17 times to six countries. The King is the Colonel in Chief of the seven Guards regiments, seeing them regularly through their ceremonial role in guarding the Royal Palaces. Recognisable on ceremonial operations by the St Patrick’s blue of the plumes in their bearskins, the Irish Guards traditionally comprise troops from the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Liverpool and Birmingham, as well as Fiji, the wider Commonwealth and the rest of the UK. The Irish Guards are alone amongst the Household Division in having a Regimental Mascot, an Irish Wolfhound. He will take his place at the front of the Regiment and lead the Band of the Irish Guards, and the Drums and Pipes of the Irish Guards onto Horse Guards parade. All seven regiments of the Household Division will be taking part with their Regimental Bands. This includes the five regiments of the Foot Guards: The Grenadier Guards, The Coldstream Guards, The Scots Guards, The Irish Guards, The Welsh Guards, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment made up of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals who will provide the Sovereign’s Escort, the mounted Band of the Household Cavalry, and the massed Foot Guards bands. The music which will keep the parade precise and on time will have a distinctly Irish theme. As well as familiar Celtic folk tunes, there is new music composed specifically for this parade, such as The Ballyragget, performed in the Massed Band’s quick troop. This is named after a 2nd Battalion Irish Guards tank which, during WW2 Operation Goodwood 80 years ago, prevented a German Tiger II tank from firing on allied positions by ramming it with such force it was put out of action. The clash of tanks is a visual and audible highlight of the music shown by a fierce crash of cymbals as the musicians smash them in the air. After the parade on Horse Guards, the Irish Guards will march up The Mall as part of the Royal Procession. The Trooping of their Colour completed, their duties are far from over. They will immediately take over responsibility as the new King’s Guard at Buckingham Palace for the next 24 hours. On the occasion of The King’s official Birthday, The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery will fire the official birthday Gun Salute of 41 Guns in the Green Park at 1252hrs. On the other side of London at the same time, the Honourable Artillery Company will fire a 62 round Gun Salute from the Tower of London. At 1pm a tri-service flypast is planned to fly down The Mall and over Buckingham Palace where members of the Royal family are expected to appear on the Balcony to watch. The annual event of Trooping of the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for more than 260 years, a reassuring touchstonehttps://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/london-the-colonels-review-2024-2.jpglondon-the-colonels-review-2024-2Members of the Household Division, including the regimental mascot Turlough Mor, an Irish Wolfhound, seen here in London today (08/06/2024), rehearsing for the King’s Birthday Parade.

Personnel from all regiments of the British Army, and from across the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, formed up into the eight processional groups that will lead Their Majesties The King and Queen Consort back to Buckingham Palace after the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey. The Sovereign’s Escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment had the furthest to parade, as they will lead the ceremonial charge for both The King’s Procession to Westminster Abbey, and the return procession from the A2023-05-04T12:53:09+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/05/03/four-sites-related-to-royal-coronations-in-london-4-buckingham-palace/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/uk-london-buckingham-palace.jpguk-london-buckingham-palacehttps://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/uk-london-buckingham-palace-balcony.jpguk-london-buckingham-palace-balcony2023-05-03T12:12:08+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/05/02/londonlife-coronation-preparations/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/coronaton-flypast-practice.jpgcoronaton-flypast-practiceSix F-35B Lightning jets above RAF College Cranwell.

Media were able to film the Advanced Mounted Gunner Pass Out, involving four soldiers on their final assessment. Passing the course enables the soldiers to ride on ceremonial parades including the gun salute to celebrate the moment King Charles III is crowned. The Commanding Officer and Veterinary Officer inspected both horses and riders ahead of their riding assessment which was conducted in the outdoor school. The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery is a mounted unit of the British Army, quartered at Woolwich in Southeast London. It is the Saluting Battery of His Majesty’s Household Troops, comprising of 168 personnel alongside 120 military working horses (MWHs). Whilst their role is primarily to fulfil a range of State Ceremonial & Public Duties, all personnel are trained soldiers who are held at readiness to support Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) operathttps://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/coronation-household-division.jpgcoronation-household-divisionThree cheers for the King will be called at the end of the Coronation procession. “Even though they’re the masters of state ceremonial excellence, the Household Division still needs to rehearse for such a prestigious event such as His Majesty The King’s Coronation. Across Aldershot Garrison, the dismounted elements of the Household Division which will take part in the Coronation Procession have been hard at work practising the intricate drill movements, attention to detail and precision timings they are known around the world for. For these dismounted elements, they will take part in the largest military procession which London has seen since the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 as His Majesty travels back from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace amidst streets lined with Union flags and cheering crowds. The Household Division will lead the Sovereign’s escort and Their Majesties themselves on the journey back to Buckingham Palace. For almost two weeks, over seven hundred Guardsmen, Household Cavalry Troopers and Musicians have been ensuring they are the paragons of ceremonial excellence, and a standard for which the rest of the procession can look up to. All six Regiments of Foot Guards (The Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards and Welsh Guards as well as the London Guards), the Household Cavalry Regiment as well as the Massed Bands of the Household Division will all be on parade. For many days they have been practising behind closed gates, out of the view of the public, ensuring their individual and Company or Squadron level drill is up to the high standards expected of them, but to ensure the procession goes to plan they must practice as a formed Group. Using Queen’s Avenue in Aldershot to emulate The Mall in London, they have been practising the full procession under the public eye. Led by the Massed Bands of the Household Division and their Senior Officers, the Foot Guards marching 12 ranks wide with street liners either side were a sight to behold. No less impressive are the dismounted elements of the Blues and Royals and Life Guards of the Household Cavalry following on just behind them. To ensure their tunics and boots are prepared for Coronation week, the troops on parade have been practising in khaki Barrack Dress topped with their signature bearskins or cavalry helmet. For many of the units taking part in the Household Division rehearsal, this will have been their first chance to take part in ceremonial training in some time; many of them have returned days, if not hours before, from Operations and Exercises around the world. The 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards have recently returned from Operation SHADER in Iraq where they have been providing Force Protection for UK personnel in the region as well as training and mentoring to the Iraqi Army. In the morning, prior to their processional practice, many of these Grenadier Guardsmen will have received their Operation SHADER medal awarded by Major General Chris Ghika, General Officer Commanding the Household Division and these will be worn proudly over the ceremonial events to come. The 1st Battalion Scots Guards and the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards will have joined the training mere hours before after returning from Exercise ASKARI STORM in Kenya where they have been practising the Infantry skills and drills on the dry Kenyan Savannah. Soldiers and Officers from the 1st Battalion Irish Guards are currently engaged in training the Armed Forces in Ukraine, preparing them to defend their homeland from invasion. Finally, many of the members of the Household Cavalry Regiment will have recently flown back from UN Peacekeeping duties on Operation TOSCA and will be returning to Cyprus immediately following the Coro2023-05-02T12:39:09+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/04/27/this-week-in-london-three-of-londons-oldest-charters-on-show-and-other-coronation-celebrations-sir-christopher-wrens-life-explored-and-a-pre-raphaelite-model-and-artist-honoured/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/london-st-pauls-cathedral.jpglondon-st-pauls-cathedral2023-04-27T12:47:30+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/04/26/four-sites-related-to-royal-coronations-in-london-3-westminster-abbey/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/westminster-abbey-interior.jpgwestminster-abbey-interiorLondon, England, UK, January 18th, 2023, the beautiful ornate Pulpit and High Altar in Westminster Abbey.2023-04-26T13:16:36+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/04/25/londonlife-rush-hour-st-pancras/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/london-st-pancras.jpglondon-st-pancras2023-04-25T12:11:55+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/04/24/moments-in-londons-history-five-more-unusual-facts-about-royal-coronations-past/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/london-westminster-abbey.jpglondon-westminster-abbey2023-04-25T00:52:45+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/04/21/this-week-in-london-georgian-fashion-shakespeares-first-folio-whats-new-at-the-british-museum/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/wedding-dress-of-princess-charlotte-of-wales.jpgwedding-dress-of-princess-charlotte-of-wales2023-04-21T13:23:53+00:00monthlyhttps://exploring-london.com/2023/04/18/londonlife-rehearsing-the-coronation-procession/https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/uk-london-coronation-rehearsals5.jpguk-london-coronation-rehearsals5Image of Drum Major's new State Ceremonial Uniform of the household Division, taken at The Royal Military Chapel (The Guards' Chapel) in London.

Following the Army Air Corps’ helicopters will be an RAF C130 Hercules transporter aircraft, in its final year of service before being retired. The Lord Mayor’s Show is a major annual spectacle that dates back to the 13th century, when King John rashly allowed the City of London to appoint its own Mayor. The King insisted that each newly elected Mayor should come to Westminster and swear loyalty to the Crown, and the Lord Mayor of London has been making that inaugural journey beyond the City Bounds for over 800 years. Today the parade celebrates the City’s ancient past and modern outlook and enables the new Lord Mayor to ‘show’ themselves to the public. Cheered on by an estimated 250,000 people lining the City’s streets and millions watching the live BBC coverage and online streaming of the event, the procession will leave the Lord Mayor’s official residence, The Mansion House, at 11.00am, led by the Bands of the Scots Guards and the Welsh Guards. Nicholas Lyons has been elected as the 694th Lord Mayor of the City of London and will ride in the procession in the golden State Coach, which has been used in every Lord Mayor’s Show since 1757 and is the oldest ceremonial vehicle in regular use in the world. He will be accompanied by his ceremonial bodyguard, the Honourable Artillery Company, The Band of the Household Cavalry and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, as well as members of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, Foot Guards Bands of the Household Division, and soldiers, sailors and airmen from reserve and regular military units across London. As part of the procession, Nicholas Lyons will become the first Lord Mayor in the City of London’s history to swear allegiance to the new sovereign, King Charles III, at St. Paul’s Cathedral, following the traditional blessing by the Dean. In eternal thanks, whenever attending the Lord Mayor, the Band of the Household Cavalry is permitted to wear the gold State Uniforms his predecessor purchased for King Charles II’s glittering return to London to claim His Crown, uniforms which are otherwise only ever worn on Royal occasions.https://exploring-london.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/london-remembrance-sunday-2022.jpgArmed Forces personnel lead nation in Remembrance at the CenotaphArmed Forces personnel from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force came together at the Cenotaph today, Remembrance Sunday, for the National Service of Remembrance.

The armed forces provided a new style of ceremony for this year’s State Opening of Parliament which requires fewer troops, allows the principals to travel in greater comfort by car, but incorporated the same standards of pomp and military splendour throughout. In all, more than 500 soldiers and 125 military horses were on public show in a variety of ceremonial roles, with many others busy behind the scenes. Before the pandemic, typically, all three-armed services would line the streets and the Household Division of the British Army would provide the ceremonial, escorting the Crown Regalia and Her Majesty The Queen’s carriage procession from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords.
