Mounted soldiers from the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery give horses free rein and cut a dashing war horse image in the sea between Marazion and St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. The spectacle always draws a crowd. The King's Troop are used in high-profile ceremonial duties in London including the State Opening of Parliament and Trooping the Colour which is the monarch's Birthday Parade celebrated in June and the mounted troops perform a walk-march and trot-past.
