BEATING THE RETREAT 8th

Add to Cart Download

© Licensed to London News Pictures. LONDON, UK 08/06/11. As the opening night of Beating the Retreat draws to a close, the Massed Bands of the Brigade of Guards, the Bands of the Household Cavalry and the US Army Europe Band and Chorus all play in formation beneath a clear sky. This year the opening night of Beating the Retreat took place with the American Ambassador receiving the salute. The traditional parade, involving all of the bands of the Household Division of the British Army, dates back to times when, after a day's battle, troops would retreat for the night. Please see special instructions for usage rates. Photo credit should read Matt Cetti-Roberts/LNP
