Headline: Trump's Second State Visit to the UK Marked by Grand Military Parade at Windsor
On September 3, 2023, a grand military parade took place at Windsor, welcoming the US President, Donald Trump, and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, for their second state visit to the UK. The event was attended by King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with Prince William and Kate.
The ceremony began with a carriage procession, followed by a special Guard of Honour. The Life Guards and Blues and Royals, dressed in their respective uniforms, were part of the ceremony, and around 120 horses and 1,300 members of the British military were involved.
The Red Arrows, the RAF's iconic aerobatic team, performed during the parade, soaring above Windsor Castle as crowds of spectators cheered. King Charles and Donald Trump were seen applauding as the Red Arrows navigated the windy conditions. The performance by the Red Arrows was part of Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK.
British and US military personnel stood in silence during the parade, a mark of respect and tradition. The Sovereign's Escort, consisting of 80 soldiers from the House Cavalry Mounted Regiment, traveled with the carriages.
Prince William and Kate welcomed Mr. Trump and Melania before their visit with King Charles and Queen Camilla. The meeting between William, Kate, and Mr. Trump was described as "warm and friendly" by Kensington Palace.
The military parade was followed by a Beating Retreat rendition, performed by 200 military musicians on the East Lawn. Mr. Trump and Melania landed in the Walled Garden of the Windsor estate to the sound of the Band of the Household Cavalry wearing state dress.
The day is expected to conclude with a grand state banquet in Windsor Castle, during which both Trump and King Charles are expected to give speeches. This visit marks another significant chapter in the longstanding relationship between the UK and the US.
