Beating Retreat, a Military Musical Spectacular ‘Celebration’ presented by the Household Division at Horse Guards on Whitehall
We have made a group booking for this spectacular show of pomp and circumstance at Horse Guards on Wednesday, 17th July 2024 at 7.30pm and we very much hope that you’d like to join us for a special evening out.
This is how the Household Division describes their event:
A spectacle of sound and colour featuring the Massed Bands of the Household Division, Massed Pipes and Drums and the Mounted State Trumpeters in a celebration of military music. Set on the historic Horse Guards Parade in the beautiful surroundings of St James’s Park, the Military Musical Spectacular recognises the power of music as a universal language together with a unique celebration of iconic Rock Artists from across the land, accompanied by a stunning pyrotechnic finale with a moment of reflection to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. A showcase of stirring world class military music and precision drill combine in an unforgettable thrilling evening of the very best of British Military Music and pageantry. Fireworks - Massed Bands – Horses – an event not to be missed.
The regiments that form the Household Division have a long and proud history, mostly dating back to the time of the English Civil Wars and the Restoration in the middle of the 17th Century. Since that time they have proudly carried out a dual role as the Sovereign’s personal troops and the nation’s crack fighting soldiers.
