As the UK and Commonwealth look forward to the Coronation, the military is working hard behind the scenes in preparation. Once again, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, based in Hyde Park Barracks, is playing a key role, with the whole unit putting in many hours of rehearsals and hard work.
Dubbed the trusted guardians of the Monarch, the Household Cavalry is divided into two Regiments: the Household Cavalry Regiment and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. The Mounted Regiment is tasked primarily with ceremonial duties and represents the Monarch and nation in conducting mounted state and public duties in London, across the UK and around the rest of the world on key international events.
Last year, the Mounted Regiment had an exceptionally busy ceremonial season, with the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and the State Funeral. This year, many months of planning and hard work will go into the Coronation and the annual Trooping the Colour in June.
Pray using our prayer points
- Pray for ASR Josh Fortune as he supports men and women serving in the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment who will be involved in the celebrations. May he have wisdom on how best to serve them amid the heat and the stress and ask that he could tell many about the King of kings, our Lord Jesus Christ.
- With over 6000 members of the Armed Forces participating in the Coronation of King Charles III, pray God would strengthen and sustain them as they prepare for the event.
- On the event of the Coronation, give thanks for His Majesty The King, for his gifts and years of public service. May he be ever mindful of the law and the gospel of God and seek His counsel as he rules the nation.
