  • The Four 'O' Clock inspection Parade also known as Punishment Parade at Horse Guards Parade London.
    it takes place at 16:00 daily when following an inspection by an Officer the mounted guards dismount, then take their horses back to the stables for the night.
    Two dismounted sentries will then guard the entrance until 20:00 when the gates to Horse Guards are closed and then one sentry will remain on duty until 07:00 when the gates re-open.
    The 4 'o' Clock Parade started in 1894 when Queen Victoria found the entire guard drinking and gambling while on duty and as a punishment, she ordered that they had to be inspected every day at 4pm by an officer for the next 100 years!.
