Windsor waves final farewell to Household Cavalry after +200yrs
|
 [Horse & Hound] The Household Cavalry Regiment has said goodbye to Windsor after more than 200 years in the town.
More than 250 soldiers, eight mounted troops and the band of the Household Cavalry paraded through the town on Saturday (18 May) ahead of the regiment’s departure, which was first announced in December 2016.
Princess Anne gave an address to troops from the steps of the Guildhall and hosted a reception for their families.
"The Household Cavalry has been in Windsor for more than 200 years," said an army spokesman.
"Today [18 May] they exercised their freedom to parade through this historic city to say thank you and goodbye to a community that has been their home for 215 years.
"The regiment will move from Combermere Barracks in St Leonard’s Road to Bulford in Wiltshire where it will work alongside fellow Royal Armoured Corps Regiment The King’s Royal Hussars, to operate the newly developed army reconnaissance vehicle, Ajax."
The 1st Battalion Welsh Guards will be the new residents of Combermere Barracks.
Ahead of the parade, Royal Borough councillor Andrew Johnson said the regiment’s long association with the town "will not be forgotten, but we will give a warm welcome to the Welsh Guards".
