Cavalry Memorial Parade 2024

There was an excellent turnout for the 100th Cavalry Memorial Parade 2024 held in Hyde Park on Sunday 12th May 2024. Both the serving Regiment and the Association were well represented with almost 100 on parade. The Regimental Guidon Party led our marching contingent and the regimental song was sung loud and proud as we passed the saluting dais and our Colonel-in-Chief who is also C-in-C of the RDG, this year’s lead regiment.

Approximately 130 members and guests then lunched in the Lansdowne Club where we were extremely well looked after as usual.

The Regiment is lead next year and I would encourage as many of you as possible to come along and swell our ranks on parade and let’s show the other associations how it’s done!
