Ride Past
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, The Life Guards and The
Blues and Royals, accompanied by the Mounted Band of the
Household Cavalry, ride past.
The king's Troop leads the divisions because the guns of the
Royal Horse Artillery take precedence over all other units when
on parade.
The Sovereign's Standard is dipped to Her Majesty at the walk
past by the Standard Bearer.
For mounted troops, marching past is conducted at the walk
and the sitting trot. Changes of direction by the cavalry are
given by 'cutting', a flashing sword movement, not by voice.
The music played for the sitting trot is the tune of The Keel
Row. The horses know this tune and will prick up their ears as
soon as the first few bars are played.
Note that soldiers in The King's Troop all have operational roles
in the Royal Artillery, either with guns in the indirect fire role or
operating Unmanned Aerial Systems.
