In recognition of the Shrine Guards 90th Anniversary (8 April), this Last Post Service pays tribute to the Shrine Guard who have been a constant presence at the Shrine since 1935.
Trained in military drill, the Shrine Guard provides security and ceremonial support, proudly wearing a uniform modelled on that worn by the legendary Light Horsemen of the First World War. Gather with us as we reflect on the Shrine Guard's sacrifice and dedication.
A parade will take place before the Service commences.
The Last Post Service takes place every Sunday at 4.45pm on the Shrine's northern forecourt and includes bugle calls and piper, Shrine Guard in historic uniform, a wreath-laying, recital of the Ode and lowering of the flags.
Visitors are welcome to lay a floral tribute at the Eternal Flame.
