Trooping the Colour Rehearsal 15-05-12 pt4

The Band of the Household Division rehearse for this year's Trooping the Colour at Wellington Barracks

[@daviddrake3504]

In the period before it was closed, trooping rehearsals such as this would be held at Chelsea Barracks. I remember going to watch my dad as the band's manoeuvred about the old Chelsea Barracks square.
