Household Calvary at Opening of Parliament Procession in London, England

Each spring, the Parliament of the United Kingdom is opened by the reigning monarch who outlines policy direction and a legislative agenda to the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The tradition dates back to the 16th century. This major event is preceded by a royal procession from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster. The gala parade is escorted by the Household Cavalry and Foot Guards dressed in blazing red ceremonial uniforms and often wearing the traditional, tall bearskin hats.
