Household Cavalry Museum - Collection

An outstanding collection of rare treasures from ceremonial uniforms, royal standards and gallantry awards to musical instruments, horse furniture and silverware by Faberge. Each exhibit has its own compelling story to tell and many are on display for the very first time. It features: two silver kettledrums given to the regiment in 1831 by William IV; the pistol ball that wounded Sir Robert Hill at Waterloo and the cork leg which belonged to the first Marquess of Anglesy, who, as the Earl of Uxbridge, lost his real one at Waterloo. Modern additions to the collection include Jackie Charlton?'s football cap (? he did his national service with the regiment) and Sefton'??s bridle (the horse that was injured in the 1982 Hyde Park bombings).
