This book offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the Trusted Guardians, the personal bodyguard of the British monarch, and illuminates the individual members of this impressive regiment during training, leisure time, and ceremonial displays. A tribute to British heritage, the Trusted Guardians have been the monarch's personal bodyguard since 1660. They occupy an iconic position in British society as guardians of tradition and ceremony, and are recognized worldwide as the epitome of British splendor and national identity. At public ceremonies, the men and women of the regiment appear as a single military unit, their uniforms uniting them into a cohesive ceremonial and combat force. The photographs, taken over a period of almost two years, document the timelessness of regimental life and, in particular, the bond between horse and soldier.
