Add to Cart Download© Licensed to London News Pictures. LONDON, UK 08/06/11. . Horses and riders of the Life Guards (the British Army's senior cavalry regiment) wheel round as they take part in the opening night of the Beating the Retreat ceremony. This year the opening night of Beating the Retreat took place with the American Ambassador receiving the salute. The traditional parade, involving all of the bands of the Household Division of the British Army, dates back to times when, after a day's battle, troops would retreat for the night.
