This is the Major General’s Review! In two weeks The Welsh Guards will be Trooping their Colour for His Majesty’s official Birthday Parade - the first for a King in 70 years! Ably supported by seven other regiments, a Royal Corps and a new battalion - can you name them all? 😁🤔
It’s hot, it’s dusty, but these are battle hardened soldiers. After three years on operational duties our guardsmen prepare to show the world they can do more than fight hard, they can put on a parade that is the envy of the world.
