The Household Division presents BEATING RETREAT – A Military Musical Spectacular – ‘Orb and Sceptre.
On 4th, 5th & 6th July 2023, the Massed Bands of the Household Division, Massed Pipes and Drums, alongside The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, are returning to Horse Guards Parade with their First World War-era 13-pounder guns, before the horses and firework finale will deliver a spectacular of sound and colour.
The event will celebrate The Coronation of King Charles III and commemorate the iconic music of Sir William Walton, while recognising the military’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of soldiers – from the work of Florence Nightingale through to the present day. This epic production will use innovative live music and modern technology to celebrate British military music and pageantry in the stunning and iconic backdrop of Horse Guards Parade.
This is a showcase of precision drill, fireworks and world-class military horsemanship, wrapped around the traditional Beating Retreat and Sunset ceremony. Refreshments and merchandise stands are also available.
