🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Leading By Example🏃

One of our Physical Training Instructors, LCpl Boyd, recently undertook two challenges in the space of 4 weeks in honour of members of the band and their families who have been affected by cancer and the hospices that they have been supported by.

The first challenge was a marathon wearing a 10kg weighted vest which he completed in 03:49.34. The second challenge, in the middle of the recent heatwave, saw him run 100km from London to Brighton, coming 91st out of over 2,000 entrants.

Through these challenges, LCpl Boyd has raised over £3,000 for two hospice charities.
Members of the trumpet section supported him through his events, reflecting the camaraderie and team spirit that embodies the Band of the Welsh Guards.

🫡 A refuge for soldiers broken by age or war 💂🏻‍♀️

Today, along with the fanfare team from Band of the Irish Guards, we provided musical support for The Chelsea Pensioners at this year’s Founders Day Parade. Held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the parade was held in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen.
