At yesterday’s Changing of the Guard ceremony we had the honour of being joined by the The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps on the forecourt of Buckingham palace.

It was a truly historic occasion for all on parade as both bands took it in turns to play for the public. Tourists pressed against the railings, watching as two nations’ military musicians played alongside each other.

🎶A Day of Prestige and Pageantry at the 2025 Defender Burghley Horse Trials 🎶

Last week, the Band of the Grenadier Guards was honoured to perform at one of the highlights of the equestrian calendar – the 2025 Defender Burghley Horse Trials. 🏇

We opened the day with a lively programme from the bandstand, entertaining the crowds with a selection of popular music. Later, we had the privilege of taking to the main show ground to perform a Beating Retreat – a proud display of military tradition and musical excellence. 💂‍♂️

To round off a remarkable day, we were deeply honoured to perform the UK National Anthem for the winner of this prestigious event. A truly memorable occasion set against the backdrop of British heritage, sport, and tradition. 🇬🇧
