Lining the edge of [[St. James's Park]] are the [[King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery]] and the [[Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment]] – the [[Life Guards (United Kingdom)|Life Guards]] and the [[Blues and Royals]].

In the Royal Procession, the Household Cavalry are termed "Sovereign's Escort". Two divisions ride before the King mounted on horseback and two behind, and the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals alternate these positions each year.
