Household Cavalry : Inspired by St James's Park
Hyde Park Barracks is home to some 300 soldiers and almost as many horses of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, who provide Sovereign's Escort and Queen's Life Guard, as well as men and their mounts for numerous state and civic functions.
Comments from recruits
"The Deckchair Dreams experience was a welcome activity, being involved in a charity event is always a special occasion. By raising funds for the Royal Parks, we ensure their future. A memory to cherish for years to come."
"The group has learnt, I think, to treat our parks with a bit more respect. It was an eye-opener to be taught a bit more information and history about the Parks. A thoroughly enjoyable task."
