The Household Cavalry of the British Army, formerly The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals, have a mounted regiment whose task it is to carry out traditional ceremonial duties. Every ten years they are awarded new Standards by Her Majesty the Queen in a ceremony which incorporates a Service of Consecration.
This sculpture of a Household Cavalry Charger bearing the Queen’s Standard was a special piece made to mark the presentation on Horse Guards Parade.
It is not often you get the chance to photograph a Cavalry Charger, when in full charge coming directly at you!
