Powerful scenes as UK and Belgian veterans and soldiers marched side-by-side at the annual Belgian Parade in London last weekend 🇬🇧🇧🇪

The tradition celebrates the enduring friendship between our nations and plays tribute to all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

A throwback to the fantastic weather last month when The Household Cavalry hit the beach ☀️🐎

In June, soldiers and horses took to Hayling Island for a well-earned break after a busy ceremonial season and for crucial training.
