The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR) is preparing for ceremonial duties during celebrations to mark HM Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in June, 2012. The mounted regiment will provide a Sovereign's Escort from Parliament to Buckingham Palace. This will involve 116 men and horses riding fore and aft of the carriage carrying the Sovereign. In addition, the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry will be playing fanfares in St. Paul's Cathedral during the Jubilee Service and the double mounted band (53 musicians and horses) of the Household Cavalry will be marching the processional route in advance of the Escort.
