Four more sleeps! We hope everyone is getting into the festive spirit. Our Regimental family have a few fun traditions at this time of year - from hanging a brick in the mess, to fancy dress inspections, to officers serving the Troopers their lunch. What are your Christmas traditions?

đ¨ đ¨ đ¨ Just in time for Christmas we are delighted to announce the republication of the official Second World War history of the 2nd Household Cavalry Regiment (2HCR) by Roden Orde.
When the author sent a copy to the Prime Minister in 1953, he received the reply:
âIt is the best regimental history I have ever readâ - Sir Winston Churchill
2HCRâs war was a short and exciting one, from Normandy in July 1944, to Germany in May 1945. As an armoured reconnaissance regiment in the vanguard of the Guards Armoured Division it helped lead the advance probing miles behind the enemyâs front, constantly âloopingâ around strongpoints to find ways for the main thrust to break through. They were the first troops to reach Brussels and to link up with 1st Airborne Division at Arnhem.
Unlike other regimental histories, it is not just an account written about and for officers, but rather a book about an entire regiment full of anecdotes from all ranks, in a narrative style and with a contemporary feel. Order your copy today:
https://householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/shop/new-items/2hcrbook/
This republication by Pen & Sword books, is only possible through the generous contributions of former and serving Household Cavalrymen and their families. Proceeds of books sales will go towards the Household Cavalry Foundation.

Well done to all those who did such a great job supporting King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, in welcoming Cyril Ramaphosa and his delegation at the official start of the South African State Visit yesterday.
This two-day visit to the UK is the King's first State Visit since he ascended the throne in September, and the first in more than three years due to the pandemic.
Guests are officially welcomed on Horse Guards Parade (the Museumâs front doorstep!) before enjoying a mounted es**rted to Buckingham Palace.

Spats cover
Polluted boots
With a Sam Browne strapped
To a spit and polish belt
Tightened by the sergeant
Holding him there
Completely trapped.
â
Deathly still
Helmand
Mourning loss
Hobnailed by the flagpole
With a drooping ensign
In a two-minute silence
Like three hours on a cross.
â
Numb lips
This November
And another year
As the guns die down
In posthumous salute
While the note splits
In the mouth of momentary fear.
The bugle fades
Echoing round
As darkness descends
On Greenwich Mean Time
Across Whitehall
And the sands of an Afghan desert
While Calvary shares the silence.
â
Crinkled leaves
Float down
On their parachute trip
With legions of poppies
Papered for today
As a tear rolls down
To a stiff upper lip.
Teeth chatter
Feet freeze
With winter ahead
On count-down to Reveille
And the beginning of spring
While sheathed swords
Honour the glorious dead.
- Paul du Plessis, 2009.

Weâre chuffed to bits for Rob and his justly deserved success in this incredible project.
As his wonderful exhibition at comes to a close canât wait to give a home to his very special Windsor Castle Queenâs Birthday Parade piece.
What we see as the result of his hard work and talent is impressive enough, but weâve been even more delighted working with him behind the scenes and have loved seeing his collection and accomplishments grow.
Weâve been overwhelmed at the beauty of seeing our Regimental Family through his eyes and in a whole new light.
Thank you Rob.

đAs Autumn winds blow this week you can be forgiven for thinking ahead to festive lights and office party nights. Well if you or your team are looking for a special party venue with a dollop of history, a splash of panache and a serving of je ne sais quois, look no further than the Museum. The only publicly accessible part of the iconic Horse Guards building, we sit in the heart of Royal London and can host intimate dinners to buzzing drinks parties - all within sight and smell of the working stables of the Kingâs Life Guard. Donât just take it from us. Our last guest was none other than HRH The Princess Royal! https://householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/private-hire-events/

âThe Perils of the Final Journeyâ - Wednesday 5th October, 18:30-19:30hrs.
Introducing the fourth online lecture in a unique series delivered by our Regimental Historian, Christopher Joll.
Join us in discovering the heritage and quirks of past ceremonial funerals. Christopher Joll will take you from the funeral of King Richard III, delayed by a mere 530 years, to the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. His talk examines how State Funerals are planned and organised, as well as recounting some of the things that have gone wrong in the past. This includes why the 1661 State Funeral of 1st Duke of Montrose was corporeally incomplete, and why Nelson was buried in a coffin made of French oak. Christopher will also reveal the awful problems encountered during the funeral of the 1st Duke of Wellington - problems eclipsed by those encountered during Queen Victoriaâs final journey. And then there was the dreadful omen experienced by King Edward VIII at the State Funeral of his father, King George V. Sign up for this and much more.
Free to members of the Regiment, serving and retired. All proceeds will help support the museum, preserving our heritage for future generations.

Cuirass burnisher!!
Our is this 2nd Life Guards Cuirass Burnisher, which was used by Trooper G Kynoch between 1871 - 1883.
A Burnisher was used to make cuirasses clean and shiny. Both hands were used, the cuirass being held in the lap and scraped with the metal blade. It was said to take a whole morning to clean a front cuirass by this method.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was Sovereign for almost 20% of our 362 year history. She lived in our traditions, our Standards, our names and our uniforms. She continues to live in our hearts and the hearts of all who served her during an extraordinary 70 year reign. The men and women of the Regiment have done justice to her memory over the last 10 days and should rightly feel proud of making history. They will go on to serve His Majesty The King just as proudly.

As the nation, and the world, reflect on a day that will be marked indelibly on our memories, the Regiment continue to observe Royal Mourning along with the Royal Family, their household and household troops committed to public duties. Royal Mourning will end after 26 Sep 22. đˇ
19/09/2022
A final es**rt for our Colonel-in-Chief. But Queen Elizabeth wasnât just Colonel-in-Chief to our two regiments. She was much more to us, and to others across the armed forces. We all swore allegiance to her on joining up, she established the Elizabeth Cross for the families of fallen servicemen and women, and her head is emblazoned on every operational medal from the Korean War to Afghanistan. Whatâs more, she was a veteran herself, and wife, mother and grandmother to veterans. Today has been a hard day. But what an honour to ride, march and stand by her side one last time as her trusted guardians.

An historic moment as Queen Elizabeth IIâs grandchildren stood vigil around the catafalque in Westminster Hall. The Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex both wore the uniform of the Blues and Royals. Both brothers began their military careers with the Household Cavalry and it will have meant a great deal to those who served with them, and those serving today, that they decided to carry out this enormously important role as Blues and Royals officers. Honi soit qui mal y pense. đˇ

Members of the Regiment es**rted Her Majesty on a route many of them had accompanied her on before. Today was different.
With reversed arms (swords pointing backwards) in mourning, the Life Guards and Blues and Royals slow marched with the procession down the Mall, passing the Kingâs Life Guard at Horse Guards, and arriving at Westminster Hall and the waiting catafalque.
Here, officers of the Household Division will take turns to stand vigil at the corners of the coffin while the Queen lies-in-state and members of the public pay their last respects. As the senior regiment, Household Cavalry officers stood the first vigil.
13/09/2022
Troops were up early this morning to conduct an early morning rehearsal (EMR) for the funeral of Her Majesty The Queen. Arms (swords) are reversed as a mark of respect.

Here come the Life Guards! We hope you had a good Bank Holiday weekend. The work never stopped here- thank you to the #LifeGuards for weekend duty, to the #Blues for Bank Holiday Monday, and the Museum team for a great long weekend too! Come down to Horse Guards now to see the efforts of this brilliant team in action.
Just after 10.30am on 20th July 1982, the IRA bombed the Queen's Life Guard. This act of terrorism took place in Hyde Park, London, but it shocked the world. Four men of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, and seven horses, were killed, and many more soldiers and civilians injured. Ex-Household Cavalryman Mauricio Gris and his team at Thread Films have been working over the last few months to preserve the story of the Hyde Park Bombing on screen for future generations. They will be donating a copy of the film to the Museum. Theyâve got just days left to reach their Crowdfunder target of ÂŁ12,000. Please donate if you can and help us remember this tragic chapter in our 350 year long history. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hydeparkbombing #hydeparkbombingdocumentary #householdcavalry #CrowdfunderUK #veterans
đ¨ đŁ đ¨ Hold onto your headdress because we are now officially back open seven days a week, 10am to 6pm! Itâs been a long two years but we are back on form. A huge thanks to our wonderful team, our loyal supporters and friends, and of course our regimental family for seeing us through the storm. Come down and visit us this summer, step inside the only publicly accessible part of the iconic Horse Guards building, and explore over 350 years of service to the Sovereign.
Tomorrow is the day! Have you booked your tickets for our half term Families Open Day at the Museum? Weâve been overwhelmed with the popularity of the event. If you havenât booked yet weâve still got guaranteed entry tickets left for the 9.30am slot available on our website but they are going fast. Otherwise weâll try our best to take walk-ins for the sessions throughout the day. Hereâs a teaser of the fascinating behind the scenes experience you and your family will be treated to. We canât wait to see you all tomorrow. Thank you so much for supporting the Museum.
Another sneak peek at what you can expect from our Families Open Day on 17th Feb 22. Itâs not an easy job finding several different dress uniforms to fit 250 soldiers of differing shapes and sizes. Itâs even more complicated when they are all different ranks and have varying medal ribbons. Thankfully we have a team of highly trained tailors on hand to solve all our tailoring needs.
We're so pleased to be able to invite you all back for another Open Day in 2022! #ICYMI here is one of our rather hungry #horse hosts at the last #HalfTerm #Families' Open Day. #hungryhorse #horse #horses #SpiritAnimal https://householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/whats-on/
đ¨ đ¨ đ¨ We are delighted to announce that after the resounding success of the last one, we will be holding another Families Open Day on 17 Feb 2022. From 9.30am on Horse Guards parade you and your families can meet our soldiers and horses and learn more about our long history and heritage. You can feed some of our horses and learn about the unique specialists, like our farriers, who keep the regiment ready.

Thereâs still time to support our Crowdfunder! Thereâs just four days left until it closes. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us get this far.
The 20th July is something that has quietly been remembered by a small group of people every year for the last four decades. We hope that through this documentary, more people will understand the impact of that day and how it echoes on for many even now.
Any funds we receive past our target will go towards additional screenings of the film that we will be announcing in the coming weeks.

đHousehold Cavalry Beach Rideđ
Difficult but exhilarating painting conditions today trying to communicate the joy and chaos of the Cavalry's beach ride at Holkham. I painted a smaller piece last year but the lasting memories of such an assault on the senses made me want to attempt something larger.
This is 80cmx160cm. I've built it up using sketches, last years plein air study and photos, several mornings this week on site painting the water movement and yesterday's beach ride with the Life Guards.
I had the easel break due to the wind, loose horses, and a horse fearful of the surf rearing up to contend with, not to mention the changing weather, rapid tides, airborne sand, and 1 mile slog with all the gear back to car.
Silly idea really. But fun in the moment.
Exhibition of my Household Cavalry Artist Residency works opens at Panter and Hall Gallery on Pall Mall October 11th until the 28th.

Here is the result from painting live at The Platinum Jubilee Trooping the Colour. I hired a van this week to collect the 2mx1.2m canvas from the historic stables at Horse Guards. There were a good few millimetres to spare getting it up the winding staircases!

On 20 July 1982, 15 Household Cavalrymen and their horses were on their way to change the guard near Buckingham Palace when a remote controlled device was initiated, blasting nails and shrapnel into them. Four men and seven horses were killed, and many more injured

đ Painting in The Queen's private chambers at Windsor đ
The greatest honour of my residency with The Household Cavalry (and my entire career) was painting inside The Queen's private chambers during Trooping the Colour at Windsor Castle last year.
I got oil paint on my best suit but fortunately not the carpet.
This 200 x 120cm piece is the sister painting to this year's Platinum Jubilee Trooping the Colour painting from my last post and shall be the other centrepiece of the October exhibition at Panter and Hall Gallery.
Covid restricted the event to just a handful of spectators, so to be granted such access to paint live in the Victoria Vestibule, a view over Her Majesty's shoulder whilst the red arrows tear overhead is something I shall always remember.
I technically painted The Queen from life during this, although I could only really see her right arm and handbag!
I wonder what Thursday shall bring?

Today I was working on a 2 metre canvas infront of HRH Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge during The Colonel's Review of Trooping the Colour, the final review before The Platinum Jubilee Queen's Birthday Parade. Here's a sneak peek...
I've spent the last couple of weeks building up this piece, painting on site at Horse Guards Parade during 3 rehearsals, The Brigade Major's Review and last week's Major General's Review.
It's been a long road to get to this point with many tricky logistics.
This painting represents the culmination of my Artist Residency with The Household Cavalry and shall be a centrepiece of my exhibition with Panter and Hall Gallery in October 11-28.
I'll share the full painting when hopefully I finish it in front of Her Majesty The Queen on Thursday's Platinum Jubilee Trooping the Colour.
Both Prince William and I turn 40 in a few weeks (I'm an hour older đŞ) so I'm glad I could share being a thirty-something with him, albeit across a parade ground!

I've been painting inside the historic stables at Queens Life Guard today. Great to experience life behind the scenes. I know Terence Cuneo painted the Household Cavalry a lot, I wonder if it was painting in here that gave him the idea to hide a mouse in every painting.

I decided to work into this 30"x24" piece from last year. Quite intense working conditions amongst inquisitive tourists. I couldn't resist adding in the large Union Jack that has been hung for the . Hopefully it isn't too domineering in the corner.
