This six-part series boasts unprecedented access to one of the British Army’s most prestigious units 350 years after it was founded.
From the new recruits to the most decorated officers, we see what life is like for the Household Cavalry and follow the progress of the first-ever female trooper.
This week, we’re at Knightsbridge Barracks, where preparations for the Queen’s annual birthday parade are under way.
We’re also introduced to new troopers who have never been near a horse before, while, on the other side of the Cavalry, state- of-the-art armoured vehicles look to change the face of modern warfare.
