Once a year usually the 1st weekend in May we march and pay our respects to commemorate those members of all the cavalry if the British Army who were killed defending liberty and freedom - God save the Queen.
The Cavalry Memorial is a bronze sculpture, which represents St George on horseback stepping over a defeated dragon, with a frieze of galloping horsemen around the base. The memorial commemorates members of the Cavalry Regiments killed during World War 1.
Designed by Adrian Jones, an army vet, the sculpture contains bronze which came from guns captured during World War 1. The base was designed by Sir John Burnet.
Originally installed in 1924 at Stanhope Gate, the Cavalry Memorial was moved to its present site near the bandstand in 1961, following the widening of Park Lane.
The Cavalry Memorial also contains a bronze plaque which lists the cavalry of the Empire.
Beautiful place and nice atmosphere around.
The enduring legend/iconography of St.George and the hapless, villainous dragon summoned for this fitting memorial.(1924)
Reinvigorating the old warhorse, a national bulwark, with a telling interpretation that is both elegant and allegiant.
The Cavalry of the Empire Memorial is a war memorial that stands in tribute to the cavalry regiments of the British Army in the First and Second World Wars.
The memorial takes the form of St George slaying a dragon. It depicts St. George as a mounted knight, seated on his horse, wearing armour and with sword in his right hand raised aloft. At the feet of the horse is the slain dragon.
A beautiful allegory of heavy cavalry saving the day!
