The Household Cavalry
The mounted troops of the Household Cavalry on parade during a visit by the President of Mexico to London in March 2009.
The Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR) has an operational role in armoured fighting vehicles which has seen them at the forefront of Britains military operations including the Falklands (1982), the Gulf (1990), Bosnia, Kosovo and most recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Regiments are Guards Regiments and, with the five Foot Guards Regiments, form the Household Division.
