This unforgettable evening of music, precision, and ceremony brings
together the world-renowned Massed Bands of the Household Division,
supported by the Household Cavalry Band and the Duchess of Edinburgh’s
String Orchestra in a celebration of British military heritage. Set against the
magnificent backdrop of Whitehall, the performance features a dazzling
display of musical excellence, drill, and military pageantry, honouring the
service and traditions of the British Armed Forces.
Whether you are visiting London for the first time or returning to enjoy
its many treasures, I warmly encourage you to join us for this unique event.
It is a highlight of the ceremonial calendar and a truly memorable way to
experience the pride and professionalism of those who serve.
