Gold Beach - 60 Years On

Household Cavalry Pageant 2007

In June 2007, two of our members were invited to take part in the Household Cavalry pageant in central London, representing the advance of 30 Corps on the club route in September 1944.

 

Here are some pictures of Phil and the QLR at the event, and some kindly supplied by Andrew of other interesting vehicles and people.

 

A fantastic opportunity, and one not extended to many - given that event represented the whole history of the Household Cavalry. Well done chaps!

 

Nice picture of the QLR

Doesn't he look smart?
