Battle of Waterloo

Giving those Frenchies a good volley.

The Battle of Waterloo re-enactment at the Household Division's 'Beating retreat' last night at Horse Guards Parade. Full of big bangs and musket fire, pomp and ceremony as they trooped their colours, but thankfully, no death and bloodshed.

Extra band power provided by our 'traditional allies', the Germans.

* Extra pic - shows one of the guns from the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery providing the real big bangs of the evening.
