Household Cavalry Guard of Honour for a Kelso Wedding

The Household Cavalry, after arriving to participate in an equestrian spectacular at Floors Castle, gave one couple a dream wedding no money could buy - a parade in the square and a mounted Guard of Honour for Jane Vass and Peter Kelly on their big day in the Scottish Border town.

Wow that was awesome wedding, imagine having all those handsome guards at your wedding, it was beautiful. Almost like a fairytale.❤❤❤

[@barbaraaldam204]

For that to happen on your wedding day must make it even more special than it already was. They are all fantastic but in particular I loved the horse and the drummer, not seen so often and just so smart.

[@RobinaDunstan]

And it was just a random wedding too. I love the drum horses too

[@robertwilkins8357]

So nice to see and nice to see the way they celebrate to people in love, very smart and sweet. They all look wonderful. God Bless them.

Q:-$:-$

[@richardkroll2269]

You can wish and your daddy might be loaded but you CAN'T HAVE THIS FOR YOUR WEDDING. And should you try to crash this wedding your head will be up on a pike. Magnificent.

[@RobinaDunstan]

It was a random wedding... they were in town and decided to celebrate with a random couple

[@sandydog7449]

What an honor

[@TheKira699]

What is more spectacular? Having the Queen drop into your Wedding, or have the Household Cavalry swing by. That is tough one to answer.

[@byelaw1]

Well done lads

[@jacobkeppler1984]

What a beautiful weeding

[@gerardhogan3]

What a fantastic display.

[@JulieSims-ug8fi]

Something to show there children in the years to come really great

[@helenheeney2284]

Spectacular

[@po-xz8jz]

Vážně můžou být pyšní.

[@daviddkilpatrick]

Ref comment on the sound of the drums and horses' ears - they are military trained. Think of gun salutes, full bands, battles...

[@ycul21]

Astounding.

[@user-qz1fy7kx1n]

Lovely!❤

[@LB-my1ej]

Gorgeous

[@psc330]

Those drums scare the crap out of everyone within earshot! :-)

[@Roheryn100]

Do they ?

[@nitzmariano8133]

so fabolous👏👏♥️

[@CaliKiwi-]

So cool that the guard joined the wedding festivities after their parade duties were performed.. the British are so lucky to have this living connection to our heritage and culture!! A country that lives alongside its roots is blessed!!❤

[@bilbaokelso]

that will be me 1 day

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Insperato62]

@4yall - who are they?Assuming you're not referring to the bride & groom, this is the Mounted Division of the Household Cavalry of Queen Elizabeth II.Their history stretches 350 years & usually mount guard at Whitehall in London.If you watched the Royal Wedding or Trooping the Colour on youtube these are the same guys.Those in Red are the Life Guards & those in Blue are the Blues & Royals (Prince Harry's regiment).Some of the B&R were blown up by an IRA bomb.The horses are Irish.

[@richardkroll2269]

I saw a changing of the Guard at White Hall in 1957 as a 10 year old boy. Loved it so much my brother and I gave up a day at Harrod's to watch it again. The second time a riderless horse broke from the stables and came out and got in line. Somebody shoveled manure over that but the crowd cheered for the horse. The 1982 IRA car bomb killing those 4 troopers and 15 horses sickened me.

[@marywood6270]

​@@richardkroll2269 ahhh richard, what a lovely memory of the horse wanting to join in..
I still remember Sefton one of the horses that survived..

[@shirleyjenkins11]

Irish "draught" horses

[@user-qz1fy7kx1n]

Does the sound of the drums hurt the horses ears?

[@dragonmaster4429]

Does anyone know the breed of horse the drummer was riding? It reminds me of the Clydesdale horses, but those are giants!!

[@bonnieharris3701]

I only know the guard horses they're an Irish Draughft

[@ilovediamondspearls]

Shire not irish draught

[@martintabony611]

Clydesdale cross . Not sure which one this is but they usually they have classical names, Alexander, Belisarius, Mercury and Coriolanus to name a few. Although there has also been a Fred and a Paddy. The troop horses are a type not a bread. "Cavalry Blacks" are usually from Ireland but not all.

[@mkgaming5823]

@@martintabony611 The drum horses tend to be Shire horses

[@user-kk3dg4ei7w]

Shire horses and some have come from ,a farm in N Wales whose farmer breeds them ,they are now classed as a rare breed now unfortunately

[@robertchubb1518]

Style

[@cptmuska]

1:40 where here!

[@angelabushby1891]

Is the Groom a Trooper?

[@4yall]

Who are they?

[@TheKira699]

Believe it or not it was a random wedding taking place on the day the Cavalry was in town. You can't BUY these memories.

[@jeanette6260]

Wonder If the Groom was a guards man

[@RobinaDunstan]

Couple chosen at random!

[@debbarn9754]

Either that or the bride, or maybe both are
