Commemorating the 3rd anniversary of His Majesty The King's coronation on the 6th May 2023.

As the new British sovereign in generations, the coronation of King Charles III was a very proud and prestigious moment for all members of The Queen's Own Yeomanry; especially to those members across the regiment on parade in London.

At the time, the King was the Royal Colonel for the Queen's Own Yeomanry whom he followed with great enthusiasm. Army Reservists from A Squadron ( ), B Squadron ( ), C Squadron ( ) and D Squadron ( ) gave up their spare time in order to rehearse with our counterparts in the Regular Army and alongside fellow Yeomanry regiments preparing for the memorable coronation parade.

With weeks of Drill, night rehearsals and countless hours of preparation, the marching troops representing all squadrons delivered a highly professional l, disciplined and superb performance as Reserve Army ambassadors for The Queen's Own Yeomanry and the wider British Armed Forces. These are just some of the qualities in which makes a light cavalry soldier.

As always, a very proud day for the Queen's Own Yeomanry.

Long may he reign.
